Wiring Duncan Distortion

[ChzRxx]

I am replacing the bridge pickups in my Kramer Assault 220FR...Are the wiring schemes with pickups universal ? This guitar has coil tapping and in the instructions that came with the DD everything looks different that the way it is wired....of course I took pics...and I am wondering if I can replace the wires the same way they were when I took them out ?...in other words...put the green from the DD where the green was that I am taking out...there is one volume and one tone....the push-pull pot is the tone...The black wire coming out of the hole on the far left is the pickup I am replacing...the first pot on the left is the volume....the middle connections are the 3 way toggle switch....the far right is the tone (push/pull pot)

Original wiring......Grn/Wht - Soldered taped
Blk/Bare - Soldered to connection at top of toogle sw
Red - Soldered to connection on other side of toggle switch

Duncan Distortion instructions show
Red/Wht - Middle connection on toggle switch
Grn/Bare - Soldered to top of volume pot
Black - Soldered to side connection on volume pot

No you have to use the Duncan color codes. Follow the instructions with the pickup different manufacturers use different color schemes for the wires.

Thanks....here is the diagram.....everything goes to the VOLUME....guess I want to make sure is all...the Push/Pull on this Kramer is the TONE ...so wire it like it is below then?....go to the VOLUME?
