    OH SHOOT. WAIT!!

    I don't think a push-pull will work as I said with a neck humbucker.

    You'll need to wire the red to the lug furthest from the pot, the white to the middle lug, and an extra wire from the bottom lug to where the green connects onto the switch. Solder the green there too.

    In push, red and white are connected just like a not coil split humbucker.

    In pull the extra wire takes over from the green, providing a ground through the white wire.

    In other words in full humbcker the wiring goes switch > green > south coil > red > white (joined on the push-pull) > north coil > black > switch.

    In coil split you deactivate the south coil (red and green) by disconnecting the red. The circuit is now switch > black > north coil > white > extra wire (connected to red by the third lug on the push-pull) > switch.

      One final trick....

      You can wire all this up on your bench and test it before fitting inside the guitar, but avoid messing with the joints on the pickups themselves. It's far too easy to break one of the VERY thin coil wires.
