| Installing a Lawrence 705 reissue. Wire colors are red, black, green, white and the shield. What goes where? No coil tapping or anything fancy, just want it on or off. |

Red goes to the tip ("hot") terminal of the jack.
Black and shield go to the sleeve (ground) terminal of the jack.
Green and white get tied together and insulated.
This is for the standard humbucking hookup with coils in series. |

| A wire nut to connect the two (or solder if you are handy with an iron) and then wrapped in electrical tape. Be certain to route all wires and secure them to the underside of the guitar so as to avoid any interference with moving parts. |

If you want the option of single coil operation, put the green and white wires on one side of a SPST switch,, and the other side going to ground (one guy just used a wire with alligator clips).
When the switch is open (or the alligator clip hanging free), it's a humbucker: when you close the switch (or clip the wire to the endplate), the upper coil is shorted to ground and you're only using one.

Yeah, that one guy was me. The temporary wire did the trick to decide if I wanted to install a switch, which I did.
Works great! Thanks again for that hint, Lane!
