710 Bill Lawrence pick up wiring diagram

[Stevan Sparks]

Can someone guide me thru wiring up 710 pick ups on a Mullen’s Royal precision D10. I’ve taking off BL 705 that have 4 wires and the new pick ups have 3 wires, red, white, and black. It has a toggle switch that switches from the C6 to E9.that just has 3 wires connected to it. When in the center position both necks are working. I wired it up the way I thought may work matching same colors that came off the 705 but it seems real tinty and the sustain and bottom end don’t seam like it’s full as it should be.

Hi Steve, I have 2 BL710s on my fessenden with a 3PDT switch. My switch is setup the saem way, middle postiion is both pickups in parallel.

The throws are jumpered (soldered together) as only one set are needed.
Black is ground (shield) white and red are signal path in/out.


This pic should serve you well. Hope this helps buddy! Happy New Year!

According to Becky at BL, the red wire is for a single/split coil setup. Use only the White wire if you want full humbucking using both coils.

Exactly. If you want to split the coils to give the option of single coil or a humbucker, You wire the red wire to one side of a SPST switch, and run a wire from the other side to ground.

As you guys see in my pics, the reds coming out of each 710 are isolated with highly engineered coupling substrate (electrical tape)
