Feedback on new pickup wiring plans?

Hi Everyone

I have a PRS with Dragon II's and the 5-way rotary switch that I'd like to swap out for some Fralin PAFs with the "4-conductor" type leads. I'm just looking to do a like-for-like swap with no other modifications to the wiring scheme.

While I'm pretty confident in my soldering ability, I'm less so about the electronics of pickup polarity and leads. It seems the PRS Dragon II's have 3-conductor leads, while the Fralins are 4-conductor. So that means I should solder the "outside screw" and "outside slug" leads on the Fralins together as the "split" lead per the stock schematic from PRS. At least, I think...

I've attached a drawing of my plans for soldering this up. I'd be really grateful if someone can confirm whether I have it right or wrong.

Thanks!

I think the JPG compression messed with the color of my image a bit. In case it's not obvious, according to Fralin, the color legend for the 4-wire is

White = Hot (Inside Screw)
Black = Ground (Inside Slug)
Green = Outside Screw
Red = Outside Slug

Hence, I have drawn the green/red leads soldered together since I intend to do that. Basically, my question boils down to whether this is correct or not.
