    Need Silo Spec wiring info.

    Can anyone tell me which two wires are the output wires on the Silo Spec at the molex connector? There are three wires; red, black and white. One should be the battery right. I need to know which ones are the output, not the battery so I can get my Silo Spec loaded pickguard working on my sub 1.

    Thanks for helping..

    White is hot, black is ground, red is + to the battery (for the Silent Circuit, if you have one).

    It's routed and wired up and working. Here's my new Sub 1 Special.

    Hey- great! I remember Raz did this a few years ago- very cool. I had a Silhouette Special guard I wired up and he put it on his Sub. Great way to get a SSH config at a killer price!

    Great colour choice, btw.

    thanks

    thanks for the good words.. it does look pretty nice, better in person. I got some strings on her today and played her for a while through the Champ.. Wow!!! Now I know why people like the Silo Specs so much. What great voices. I really love the neck pup (5) and the number 4 setting. I've been missing those sounds. I went staight to the amp, no effects, and that's the type of playing I like. The Silo Spec makes it easy to get those Knopfler type sounds... This really is a pretty darn good guitar.. thanks Bruce for selling me the guard. and thanks Jason for the help.
    I'll get a better pic up after I get rested...
