Same here man. Can't find a damn thing about it. Might have to replace the lot.

Why can't you just use the diagrams from the Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio page? Or any diagram for 2 vol 1 tone/push pull?

Speaking of the ec-256, i found a satin black on that has faded paint. Anything special about them?

I can't get the Diagrams to upload on this forum.

Just installed these Duncan's Hot Rodded Humbuckers last night

Please note, on the wiring Diagrams, that different brand Pickups have different color codes, 

G&B - Black is the same as Green on the Duncan

G&B- Green is the same as Red on the Duncan

G&B- Red is the same as Black on the Duncan

White is the same as White

Bare is the same as Bare

Kevin B. I realize I'm a bit late to the party on this topic, but just curious, do I need to order the 4 conductor versions of the duncans if I'm going to replace the stock pickups? 

I'm wanting to still use the coil split on the tone knob.

Thanks for posting the wiring diags as well.

Hey there,

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my EC-256 guitar. I got it secondhand, and it looks like the previous owner tinkered with the wiring. I'm on the hunt for a wiring diagram specifically for the EC-256 model, complete with 2 volume knobs, 1 tone knob, and a push-pull switch. If anyone's got a detailed diagram, visits Capcut Templates, and can  point me in the right direction, I'd be super grateful. Huge thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Cheers, [peter]
