OK I put the 59/JB in my Hollowbody, sounds great. In case you all arn't aware the 59-neck sounds much better in 251/2 scale neck-guitars. With the Gibson 243/4 scale or with 24 fret necks it just isn't as good IMHO. But on Fender scale! Man that 59 is GREAT. Anyway the pups I pulled were Duncan Design 102 Humbuckers, which are suppose to be 59/JB. They are about 80%, not 95 like they claim. THE QUESTION. The DD's I pulled, I want to use in a Double Fat Squire I just bought. The neck on the Squire is flawless, which is why I bought the guitar 80bucks used? But I figure I'll drop these in they are F-Spaced, but have 4-wires for coil-splitting. The Squire just has the two, Black and White, Hot and Ground. WHAT WIRES DO I CONNECT TO THE BLACK AN WHITE from the Duncans? The DD's are the samr color code as the 59/JB I just installed. Do I just use the hot and ground, and tape off the others, or is there another wire I have to use? Thanks for the info guys. I wish I knew this forum was here years ago. Man it would have saved time and dollars.

Re: Question-Help
on the duncan designed, you solder the red wire and the white wire together, then wrap the solder joint in electrical tape - this wont get soldered anywhere else, just stuff it carefully into the cavity ... you solder the green and bare wires to ground (e.g. back of a volume pot), and you use the black wire as hot (switch)
this will give you standard wiring, no splits
you do not use the squire wiring at all
better?
