Godin guitar pickup color code?

[Tallwood13]

Got a Godin Detour and since they make their own pickups it's a different color code. So the question is does anyone know what the exact wires are?

The guitar is all wired and I'm great with a soldering iron and it's not rocket science that the multimeter will tell me. But surely someone has done it before me so I don't have to mess around with the electronics (yet) on a practically brand new guitar as I've never been a guy who the second he buys a new guitar he swaps pickups. But in the future I'd love to do out of phase and so forth so just knowing which wire is which would be helpful

Did I try their customer support?
Yes they emailed me today and they sent me a diagram of the guitars electronics how useless their support was. They make good guitars though for the price say a couple of LTD , Epiphones and so forth I've had this year (I buy / work on a lot of guitars) weren't as nice.

Do my test. All will be revealed. Ask me if you have any questions. (Make sure you own a meter. Even a cheap one.)

They use custom made G&B pickups, so colour codes should match theirs.

On the GBH1 pickup, Red is Hot, Black+Bare is Ground, Green+White is coil Split. A meter with the green & white wires should tell you which belongs to which coil.

alright we've got a great start. The white / green wires are all that is left because I'm surprised godin couldn't help as much as I'd like to imagine. Because if I know what "north finish" and "south start" are I'm happy, but still I can do a lot without knowing of course.
