I am new to the forum and I need help on my guitar. I have a 2005 SE Soapbar II, it is great! But I just bought a 2006 SE Custom in good shape that has had somekind of no name humbucks installed (for what reason I can't figure out) Wires to the volume, tone and 3 way have been spliced from each pickup inside the back cover. (?) I just got original PRS G & B Zebra pickups with original long leads to solder in place. The neck pickup has white outer covering w/ white and ground wires at the end of the wiring to attach to volume, tone and 3 way switch and has heat shrink on each one,( I guess factory done) The bridge pickup has yellow outer covering w/ white and ground to attach to volume, tone and 3 way also. I need help to attach them to the right components. I also don't know if the tone pot is supposed to be push/pull either. PRS does not have anywhere for SE models in the factory support. HELP! I have worked on in the past my Fender, Peavey and Ibanez guitars. But now that I have sold most over the years and have seen the light with PRS SE guitars. (hope to own a PRS someday) Anyway, I need advice/diagram for getting my Custom right! Thanks for the help!

It's like this. This is for 4 conductor pickups, but yours are 2 conductor. So, ignore the part on both pickups where it says "North Finish/South Start/Solder together and tape off" because that's already done inside the pickup. So, your white wire from each pickup connects to the front part of the switch and your bare wire connects to the ground. It's pretty simple. I don't think an '06 has coil splits but someone could have added the switch for that. Your pickups aren't wired for that.
