I am really new to electrical type things, I installed a set of Seymour Duncan pearly gates into my S2 standard yesterday. Now I cannot split “ tone push/pull.There’s no change when I pull up the knob. Suggestions?
Don't know if this would help but here is a post I made a few years back on wiring 2 Duncans into a Custom 24 with the 5 way blade switch Not sure if the S2 is the same switch but this in theory is how I did it...
Wiring 2 Duncan Humbuckers in a 2017 PRS CU24 with the 5-way blade switch
After spending some time experimenting with every combination I could think of, I have the answer on how to do it.
First off as stated in many posts…
You need to select one of the DUNCAN pickups and reverse the magnet.
NOTE: IT CAN BE EITHER PICKUP IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE BRIDGE PICKUP.
I flipped the magnet in the Neck Pickup.
This is the PRS Diagram for the 2017 CU24:

PRS>DUNCAN wire color conversions
White > Black
Red > RED and White Soldered together
Black > Green
Bare > Bare
***Both bare wires go to the Tone Pot Just as they were with the original PRS Pickups. I put some heat shrink around them so they don’t hit up anything else.
So basically, the PRS schematic tells you which wires go to switch lugs A-F. You leave the rest as is.
A - Bridge White B - Bridge Red C - Bridge Black D - Neck Red E - Neck Black F - Neck White.
Just in theory here are the wiring schematic conversions (DON’T WIRE YET):
A: The PRS bridge white wire to the Duncan bridge black wire.
B: The PRS bridge red wire to the Duncan bridge red and white wires.
C: The PRS bridge black wire to the Duncan bridge green wire.
D: The PRS neck red wire to the Duncan neck red and white wires.
E: The PRS neck black wire to the Duncan green neck wire.
F: The PRS neck white wire to the Duncan neck black wire.
NOW HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING….
For whichever pickup you chose to flip the magnet in you will switch the hot wire and the ground wire in the configuration.
In my case I flipped the magnet in the
neck pickup so the conversions are:
A: The PRS bridge white wire to the Duncan bridge black wire.
B: The PRS bridge red wire to the Duncan bridge red and white wires.
C: The PRS bridge black wire to the Duncan bridge green wire.
D: The PRS neck red wire to the Duncan neck red and white wires.
E Then becomes: The PRS neck black wire to the Duncan black neck wire.
F Then becomes: The PRS neck white wire to the Duncan green black wire.
If you were to flip the magnet in the
bridge pickup the conversions would be:
A: The PRS bridge white wire to the Duncan bridge green wire.
B: The PRS bridge red wire to the Duncan bridge red and white wires.
C: The PRS bridge black wire to the Duncan bridge black wire.
D: The PRS neck red wire to the Duncan neck red and white wires.
E: The PRS neck black wire to the Duncan green neck wire.
F: The PRS neck white wire to the Duncan neck black wire.
It will work perfectly if you wire like above.
