NOTE: I believe these wire codes are correct for modern Bill Lawrence humbuckers (Bill & Becky, not Bill Lawrence USA, which are different).
http://wildepickups.com/Wiring___Tech_Info.html
White = SS positive lead for South Coil (+ when used as regular humbucker)
Green = SF ground for the South Coil
Red = NS positive lead for the North Coil
Black = NF ground for North Coil (- when used as regular humbucker)
Blue= Common ground
Grounding the green/red combination shuts off the North Coil, which works out fine for the neck position. I'm not sure to go about shutting off the South Coil for the bridge in order to have outside coils working in positions 2 and 4. In most detailed wiring diagrams you see the NF/SF tied together, but BL has the green/red or SF/NS tied together. What gives there?
Not sure if I have all the info need to get the help I'm seeking, but hopefully someone here can spot any problems and suggest corrections as needed. Guitar is an HSH Ibanez (S540 from 1998) and I am upgrading the pickups to Bill Lawrence (wildepickups.com). I've made a rough drawing, but my uncertainty is with splitting the bridge humbucker and leaving on the outer coil.
Neck = L500XL
Middle = L280SM
Bridge = L500XL
Here is the configuration I want:
Bill Lawrence humbuckers have the South Coil on top and North on bottom.
Here is my drawing:
What I think I have wrong is this: I don't think this wiring scheme will shut off the inner (S) coil for the bridge pickup. Or is this drawing correct?
