Help! Putting Fishman Fluence Modern Open Cores in MM Jason Richardson?

[Soilworker]

So I haven’t been able to find any info of anyone swapping out pickups on the Jason Richardson guitar.

I’d like to put these Fishman Fluence Modern Open Core (Fishman | Fluence Open Core Modern Humbucker 6-String Pickups with Nickel Blades) pickups in. I think they should fit but I’m not sure how the wiring will work out. Can I just drop in the the pickups as is? Or do I have to modify the wiring? If so does anyone have the wiring diagrams for the Jason Richardson guitar?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Completely different wiring by the look of it. For starters the Fishman pickups are active and require 9V but the rest of the circuit is passive. The Music Man pickups are passive but the rest of the circuit is active. So, no, you cannot just drop them in.

Does Fishman have a forum? You may have better luck asking there. the lack of response here suggests nobody has done it.

Good luck!
