Just did them this morning and they sound fabulous! It was a breeze except for two things. The previous owner of said pickups had put a bit heat shrink tube on the white wires, leading me to think it was the coil split wire. Also the McCarty wiring diagram shows the white wires going to the push/pull switch. Long story short it's the red wires to the switch. The other thing was that the bridge pickup screws were about half as long as the springs and after a frustrating half hour or so I just cut the springs a bit shorter. The neck pickup screws were longer and not a problem. I did the standard PRS 2.2k resistor for the bridge and 1.1k for the neck along with the .018 cap treble bleed and the split pickups sound excellent.
I wonder if the previous owner had them wired right?
Also sold my Vela today to a local guy, that's a pretty good musician, which helps me justify the McCarty.
