Correct 58/15 LT Wire Codes:

Bridge: Slug (South Up) (+)Black pushback, (-) Black plastic Screw(North Up): (+) Red, (-) Green. There is no white wire.

Neck: Screw: (South Up) (+) Black pushback, (-) white Slug (North Up) (+) Green, (-) Red

Note I reversed the order listed from Bridge to Neck in order to keep the black pushback wire as the first listed. Usual convention is to list both slug first.

If you reverse the mag like I did to get the screw coil active with the neck slug coil when split, reverse codes accordingly.

Hi guys!

I have a set of modern (square bobbins) HFS / VintageBass. What would be the diagram to have the rotary positions (PCB era) but with a multipole 5 way switch like the Dimarzio EP111?

In summary:
1 vol
1 tone
jack
- Treble pickup
- Outside Coils
- Inner Series Single coils
- Inner Parallel coils
- Bass pickup

Thank you.

This correlates with what PRS Customer Service provided when responding to my question about the 58/15 LT wiring:
Bass (neck)
core wire = hot
white & green = coil split
red = ground

Treble (bridge)
core wire = hot
black & red = coil split
green = ground

Hi everyone, I am the happy owner of a PRS SE Custom 22 for 3 years now, but the electronics started to have problems so I decided to change and upgrade the pots and the switch. I am not a big fan of the push pull thing so I decided to buy a strat 5 way superswitch : https://postimg.cc/V5n24TCz
And I also bought US prs pots :https://postimg.cc/rDnHK2vN
I now need help because I can’t find any diagram to wire these pots to the prs 85/15s pickups with a 5 way superswitch, I know it has been done : https://postimg.cc/56JTr3BL
but I can’t find the diagrams.
Any help is appreciated

Refer back to post #8: https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/prs-wiring-mods-resource-thread.45759/#post-600907

This is if you want the Core PRS five-way selections, but the sky is the limit with a super switch. The pickup wire colors won't match to the SE pickups, but it's easy enough to figure out hot, ground, split by comparing to the stock SE wiring.

Hi, I followed the prs core diagrams (to wire pickups to pots) and your diagram (to wire the 5 way switch). And everything’s perfectly working, thanks.
