Turning ec-50 into single pickup guitar

Updated

Hello!

I have an LTD ec-50, and would like to remove one pickup, keeping only the bridge. I already did some soldering but have not much idea what I am doing. I’ve searched for wiring diagrams but couldn’t really go on from there. Any chance somebody could help me with this? 

Thanks a lot!

Do you want both the volume and the tone to work?

Yes.

What type of pickup you want in it ? EMG ? Passive one ?

I don't remember the wiring colors from the ESP pickups, but if there are wires from the bridge pickup taped together, leave those alone and keep the main signal wire (probably connected to the switch) as the wire that runs to the center lug on the volume pot.

So i found the taped wire, i marked it with a circle. But I'm really lost with the other ones, i did something but its not working. I numbered them, maybe it is easier to talk about it that way. Thanks for the help again!

You're missing a wire from the center lug of the volume pot to the center lug of the tone pot.
