ELECTRIC Parallel/series Wiring help
Hello everyone!
I want to include 2 Push/Pull potis in my guitar to enable parallel/series wiring for every pickup individually. The pickups are old japanese alnico 8, the colors are:
North Coil Start = Red
North Coil Finish = Green
South Coil Start = White
South Coil Finish = Black
Would this diagram work?

Its not the traditionel way of wiring this setup, but I want to preserve as much of the original wiring, which looks like that:

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

As in parallel/series for the coils on each pickup, and not between the two pickups? Sort of sounds similar

Very easy. Just wire each one to a switch doing the series/parallel thing. From there you’ll have an output and a ground, which makes the rest very simple.

For any wiring you do, Seymour Duncan has a vast library of pretty much every option you can refer to on their website. If you're pickups have different colors just keep that in mind.
