I put one of these in my S10 p/p and followed this :
"Red goes to the tip ("hot") terminal of the jack.
Black and shield go to the sleeve (ground) terminal of the jack.
Green and white get tied together and insulated."
This is for the standard humbucking hookup with coils in series.
worked well .Then I thought I'd like to try wiring it to get the single coil as well so I followed this :
"If you want the option of single coil operation, put the green and white wires on one side of a SPST switch,, and the other side going to ground (one guy just used a wire with alligator clips).
When the switch is open (or the alligator clip hanging free), it's a humbucker: when you close the switch (or clip the wire to the endplate), the upper coil is shorted to ground and you're only using one."
Now I can't tell which side of the switch is humbucker and which is single coil . One side is a lot louder and both sides have some hum where before in just humbucker mode it was quite as a mouse . have I done something wrong ? Maybe out of phase ?

Hey Brendan,
The wiring schematic I use now is based on an old SGF post that I updated with a junction block and switch for dual coils. Works very well and easier to change out the pickup if you want.
