Swapping PRS S2 85/15’s out for SD Antiquities

[jaybird_76]

I’m having trouble installing Antiquities (4 conductor) in my PRS. Previous pups were the 85/15’s with split coil function. I have the neck pup working great, but can’t get the bridge working. No diagrams that I can find online for this specific project. I also have very little experience with pickup wiring, and the split coil feature adds a little extra complexity. I can get sound from the bridge but it sounds a little thin, and the push/pull is reversed from normal. Anyone out there that’s successfully done this that can help? I’ve already referred to existing SD diagrams/ online resources…

Welcome to the forum

Using this diagram:

I would expect the Duncan Antiquity black/hots to go where the PRS red/hots go, and the DuncanAntiquity red+white to go where the PRS green+white go. Be careful which side of the push pull you wire to, as the resistors are different values.

If it's wired 'correctly' and sounding thin, I think it's wired to default to coil split / and or there's a bad solder joint somewhere.

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I’ll think this info over and see how I can apply it. Your reply is definitely on track with what I’ve learned so far.
