A little confused about it. Please check if it is correct.
* Red always goes to hot, Green always goes to ground with bare wire.
SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?

Have you seen the SD chart that’s included in this article?

Re: SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?
I know about the Duncan color code.
I know that the color code of each brand is based on the slug side. The diagrams I have shown are examples of splitting to the screw side.
The question is how to deal with black and white on the north coil (slug side).
If the red and the green are connected to the hot and ground, does it matter if I leave the black and white line to anywhere at all?

Re: SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?
Got it, I’d misunderstood your original post. As far as I understand things, the two could are independent until the red/white wires are connected (series or parallel).
So, I think you’re OK to just level the black and white taped off. If it were me, I would probably put them both to ground (the third option in your chart) as the slug will still be sensing string/producing signal, so best to dump it.
Then again, I’m speaking as a layman and there are others here who know WAY more than I, so I’m absolutely fine with being proven wrong.

Actually, grounding out the slug coil is the first option in the diagram. The third option in that diagram shows leaving the slug coil out of the circuit altogether.

Re: SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?
The answer to your question is yes and no.
Yes, your diagram is correct and you can use whichever is most convenient for you in order to split to the screw coil. They will all function the same.
No, red doesn't always have to go to hot. Reversing the red and green may be useful if you want to change phase when using it in combination with another pup.

Re: SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?
Thank you for answer.
In fact, I am using a P-rails pickup and I am preparing to wire it with a rotary switch.
Screw coil is rail side in P-rails pickups.
I asked because if all the diagrams I draw are not all problems, I can get more options when choosing the wiring method.
* The mention that 'red is always goes to hot' is a description of the current state of the diagram.
In addition, I will use P-rails as a set and will not use out-of-phase.

Psychepool, you'll have a much easier system to change-on-thefly while you're playing by using a toggle switch and the triple shot p'up rings.
You can thank me later.

Thanks for your recommand.
But I don't use pickup rings and mount the pickups direct to the body.
There is no particular reason. It is just a personal taste. Pickup rings dosen't seem to match with my guitar.
My guitar has 72 telecaster or Les Paul type control. so I install two rotary switch instead of two tone pots.

Just as an FYI, the first three will work fine. There would be no sonic difference. Just a matter of what's convenient for the switching scheme you use. The last two, on the other hand, are not good ideas. They leave the slug coil hanging out on the "hot" side of the circuit, acting as a noise antenna.

Re: SD humbuckers screw side wiring....are these the same result?
Thanks for your advice. I didn’t know that connecting one side of coil would work like an antenna.
I am already finished the wiring. Fortunately, I choose the second diagram. Work fine.
Below is the wiring diagram with 4p3t rotary switch.
Only one last task is this.

P-rails series mode has very muddy tone in clean. When play with drive it’s better but I want to improve it.
I will try several ways and values. Thanks everyone!
