    Thanks
    P. S. After looking the diagram above looks like I need single conductor - there is only two knobs on my guitar Volume and Tone.. Just want to know for sure.
    Single conductor.

    The best accessory to get the three most usable connection types in each p'up is to get the p'up converted to a 4-con and use a set of Duncan P'up rings called the Triple Shot:

    Triple Shot – set arched | Seymour Duncan

    With'em you can use separately each coil by itself, in series or in parallel. It works as advertised. I've installed quite a few of'em, specially on semi-hollows and LPs.

    Does Seth Lover come with simple ring? If not which ring do I need for standard full size archtop? And which type of screws?

    If you buy the retail version, it comes with a p'up ring, height screws and two springs. The p'up rings are standard, Gibson measures normally used in LPs.

    Different archtops use different p'up rings. It helps to know what archtop you're referring to.

    Mich, your guitar is NOT routed for a "normal" humbucking p'up, actually, it's NOT ROUTED AT ALL for hosting a "normal" HB p'up.

    You need to get a "floating" p'up for it, unless you pay a luthier to perform the necessary routing for the guitar to host a "normal" HB p'up.

    I can't tell you how to proceed 'cause I haven't had such an instrument on my workbench, so I don't know how the top's braced, hence I don't actually know if it's at all possible to route the top to install the Seth Lover without inflicting irreparable structural damage to the instrument.

    So, before you do anything, get the guitar, take it to a reputable luthier and get the right advice about how to proceed.

    Consider yourself warned!

    Thank you for warning me. The guitar was shown to guy who actually makes projects like this. The important point was to locate the braces glueded along the box. Here is the project similar to what I planning to do:
