# One P90 with one volume

Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/tonerider/one-p90-one-volume

One P90 · No switch · One volume · No tone

A single P90 straight into a 500kA volume and out to a mono jack. Tonerider draws it for all its P90 pickups.

## Parts and values

- P90: P90 (white, black, bare shield); generic (Single-coil pickup (two-conductor))
- Volume 500kA: Volume 500kA; 500k; compatible example (CTS 500k Audio Pot)
- Output Jack: Output Jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11)
- Ground Wire from Bridge: Ground Wire from Bridge; generic (Bridge ground wire)

## Specific to this wiring

- The P90's white lead goes to the volume's left lug; its black lead and the Bare Shield Wire both go to the solder spot on the volume casing.
- The volume's right lug is bent onto the casing, and the Ground Wire from Bridge ends on the same casing spot.
- The jack lugs are not labelled in the source: the lug fed from the volume's middle lug is the tip and the lug wired to the casing is the sleeve.

## Connections

1. P90 black (with Bare Shield Wire) → Volume casing (case, black): The source draws the black lead and the Bare Shield Wire to the same casing spot; one wire stands for both.
2. Volume right lug → Volume casing (case): Short black link.
3. Volume casing → Jack sleeve (wire)
4. Ground Wire from Bridge → Volume casing (shield)
5. P90 white → Volume left lug (input) (wire, white)
6. Volume middle lug → Jack tip (wire)

## What each position does

- Always on: P90. Source: One P90, no selector and no tone control.

- The P90 is modelled as a generic single coil, not a measurement of any Tonerider P90.
- Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given.

## Check before plugging in

- With the volume up, the meter across the jack should read the P90's resistance.
- The jack sleeve should read continuity to the volume casing and the bridge ground wire.
