Gibson pickups in a PRS

[Malloc]

Hey guys, need some wisdom. I installed the Gibson pickups in my core cu22 5way switch per the prs diagram. Joined the 2 coil split wires and onto the switch. Joined the ground and bare and onto the ground switch. I didn't add the extra bare to the tone pot because I saw it was already grounded.

I got intermittent hum but it's gone now. But the 2/4 positions are anemic, maybe out of phase.

Can someone shed some wisdom on how to fix it?

I noticed that the prs wiring is in reverse. Meaning one circle is wired the opposite than the other. I tried swishing the hot and ground with same results. Resistance seems correct (7.8, 2, 4, 2.2,8.1)

Does position 3 sound normal? If so, phase isn’t the issue. I’ve never cared for 2/4 on the custom wiring honestly since they are anemic compared to splits with the resistor mod.

Try an SE, they’re really amazing platforms if you find a good one (that is, if budget is an issue) Burstbuckers would probably sound great! Good luck
