Hello,
Im trying to install some new Lambertone pickups into my 2017 CE24. I got the 4 wiring option to be able to coil tap using the existing PRS push pull. I'm not very familiar with push/pull wiring and I'm running into several snags. Below is how I have the wiring set up working with the original wiring along with a link to the original wiring guide.
- Black & Bare wires to the volume pot as a ground
- Green Wires to Selector Switch (replacing original PRS black wire)
- Red & Wire Tied together and solder to tone pot (replacing original PRS white wire)

With this wiring setup in mind here are my issues I'm facing.
1. The neck pickup has almost no output when in the middle position and I can still hear it when in the bridge position. It sounds perfectly fine in the Neck position however.
2. Phasing issues. I understand that the CE24 pickups are reverse wound which caused some issues with the phase. The jumper cable from the neck selector to the tone pot (see 2nd attachment) seemed to have fixed that issue.
3. When in coil tap position the guitar seems to ignore whatever selector position I'm in and doesnt truly sound like its being tapped/split.
I would greatly appreciate some guidance as I've been trying for weeks to get these pickups to work and I'm on the verge of replacing all the PRS hardware with new ones.
