Depending on the pick up and switch configuration. You can find most of them at seymourduncan.com and look for your set up. Wether it's two or three pickups and so on. It's almost always standard setup regardless of the brand

This is the way most aftermarket pickups are set up. Its to accommodate different wiring setups like coil splitting.

Whether the pickup is a Duncan or not does not make a difference. Make sure you solder the red and white wires together(the ones together in the diagram) and cover the joint with heat shrink or electrical tape.

Depending on the year, it could be a couple different places. There could be a little battery compartment on the outside body of the guitar. Sometimes they are separate from the other electronic controls. Sometimes that are part of the controls or even part of the guitar jack. But if it is on the outside of the body, it will have a little door that pops open when you push a tab. You just have to look and see if there is a little rectangular door. If you don't have a little door, then it is likely tucked inside the guitar, just inside the sound hole. If it is in there, then you will probably see a little cloth pouch with wires coming out. Thats where the 9v battery is kept and plugged in. It's usually held to the body with velcro.

Your best bet is to take it into a reputable music store that sells everything from custom made high
end modell guitars, electric, acoustic/acoustic electric to classical. Get an appraisal by a professional DO NOT GO TO A PAWN SHOP OR ANY BUY AND SELL ONLINE SITES (Craigslist, Kijiji, eBay etc.) They will either low ball you to try and rip you off or won't have a clue what they're talking about. Long & McQuade has always been solid for me and there's this really nice high end music store in my city that are proffessional musicians (university degrees up the the Ying/Yang)
I doubt this is much help but it's what I would do. The other most obvious is to lookup the Washburn website and most likely they'll have online help via I.M.

Try a Google search. Or a Wikipedia search.

Sure, if you want! It may sound a little "tinny' i.e. lots of treble, but a have two different hollow body guitars that I'll strum, or whatever. Having said that, the guitar was designed with the idea of plugging it in. But it's your guitar, so rock out!

might just be the pickups and their age. or a faulty cable

Check out on Google, dig in deep, there should be info also on the Washburn site.
