Help in rewiring guitar pickup (electrical circuit) for additional functions

OK, are you telling me that the bridge pickup has black and red wires, and the neck pickup has black and white wires? Fine, just follow the instructions above, except where the instructions for the neck pickup says "red", your neck pup has "white" instead.

Don't panic if you break a wire. Pickups can be rewound, even with the same wire if you are careful.

2. Open the pickups so that you can see the red and black wires from all 4 coils.
3. Referring now to the Bridge pickup: The Black wire from the Screw Coil is the start of the winding, and gets soldered to a longer BLACK wire.
4. The Red wire from the Screw Coil of the Bridge Pup is the finish of the winding and gets soldered to a longer GREEN wire.
5. The Black wire from the Slug Coil of the Bridge Pup is the start of that winding and gets soldered to a longer RED wire.
6. The Red wire from the Slug Coil of the Bridge Pup is the finish of that winding and gets soldered to a longer WHITE wire.
7. A bare or insulated wire needs to be soldered to the Bridge Pup Housing; this is the Ground wire and is the SILVER colored wire in the ThroBak and Jimmy Page diagrams.
8. Insulate the splices with little lengths of heatshrink tubing. All 5 of these wires should be long enough to go from the pup to the pots without straining.
9. Repeat 3-8 for the Neck pickup.
10. Now you should have the right color code to wire up the Jimmy Page system as shown in the diagrams.

I hope somebody else will check my work on the color coding, just to be sure.

Thank you. For colors are you using Seymour duncan wiring scheme or Thorbak. I thought we're going to identify north star north finish south finish south start. I hope you're NOT using Thorbak pic. We need SD = Seymour Duncan wiring scheme which is the one in video also i mentioned in first post SD wiring. This is the colors. I would rather say start finish then colors cause as the other guy posted literally every manufacture labels differently with colors. We need SD diagram. Can we clarity before we proceed THIS IS HUGELY IMPORTANT.

How do i check this with DMM, i took it apart. I need to verify with DMM where is start and finish. I can't go this far by taking entire pickup apart and not verify the wiring scheme. You said to always verify.

The color code I identified in my post will set your pickups -- the ones you showed in your pictures -- to work with the Jimmy Page wiring system that you posted in the diagram.

We seem to be having a failure to communicate here. Maybe some one else can help you further.

WHAT PICTURE? Seymour Duncan or Thorbak?

How do i test with DMM start and end of each pickup coil please?
rjp:
start at the start.

get one humbucker going, experiment with different ways of joining the coils - listen to the results, its obvious when you have them in phase or out of phase.
 
sounds like you are trying to run before you can walk.
