Hi All, Hoping for your help here. I've searched the forum but not found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm wiring up an HSS strat with a JB in the bridge and two standard Fender Single Coils (middle p/u is RWRP). I'm struggling to match Seymour Duncan's Humbucker Wire Coding against Schaller's odd wire terminology for the Megaswitch E I'm using.
Now I've manage to figure out that what Schaller calls the "outer coil" is what the Duncan Diagram below calls the "South Pole", and thus "inner coil" being north. But I'm struggling to understand which wire from the Schaller diagram is which wire from the SD Diagram. I'm trying to utilize the HSS5 pickup configuration (shown below) however I'm trying to figure out which color wire on the pickup corresponds to the connections as Schaller calls them. See below.
Schaller:
Bridge hot wire (Outer Coil)
Bridge Cold Wire (Inner Coil)
Bridge Hot Wire (Inner Coil)
Bridge Cold Wire (Outer Coil)
SD Terminology:
North Start - Black
North Finish - White
South Finish - Red
South Start - Green
See the images attached.
For further context, I'm going to wire the Humbucker without a tone control, and only use one tone pot to control both the neck and middle. All 250k CTS pots.
