Nashville Tele - Wiring Help

I'm building a Nashville tele and need some help with the wiring. I bought a set of Fender vintage noiseless tele pickups for the neck and bridge, and then I got an SD classic stack for the middle. Links below:

Hopefully I'm overthinking this. These are all technically humbuckers that are all noise cancelling, do I need to worry about phase and polarity? Based on the link below, Fender's definition of RWRP is the opposite of SD's definition of RWRP. I would think that I would need to switch the hot/ground wires on the SD pickup to match the wiring of the Fenders.

Here is the wiring diagram that I'm going by (I'm not including treble bleed).

All 3 pickups are shown as 2-wire, but my SD pickup is 4-wire. I'm not sure where each of the 4 wires should run. I'm assuming two of them will be tinned together and taped off, then I'll run a hot to the switch and ground the fourth. I just don't know where to start on figuring out which color should go where, and if I should reverse the hot and ground based on the above. Below is my wiring diagram. Any help is appreciated!

Re: Nashville Tele - Wiring Help

It's good to over think. I remember having the Fender SCN set (Samarium Cobalt noiseless) off of a Fender deluxe strat and they were also 2 wire.

with the Fender set
Black is your ground wire - to the back of the volume pot
yellow is your to your switch - no idea why one isn't white or something to indicate it

with the Seymour Duncan
Black - hot lead
red/white - coilsplit (tape off and don't use unless you want extra tones like parallel)
green/bare - ground

if out of phase is an issue in both positions 2 and 4
green - hot lead - switch
red/white - coilsplit
black/bare

I would love for every pickup company to all go with one wire color code and unless specified magnetic polarity to avoid a lot of these issues but it gave me such a better understanding of electronics
