Help! Axis Wiring Diagram

I don't know if my work just blocks it or something, but I have never been able to see any of the wiring diagrams from the Music Man site. After playing some stuff Sunday, I found that my Sublhouette with both hums coilsplit worked absolutely great with some U2'ish delay/reverbish tones that I could not reproduce with my Axis. Luckily, the song following had a long intro and I didn't come in until the solo after a verse and chorus, so had plenty of time to switch to the Axis. But it would be way easier if I could coil split with a push/pull......which is my plan. I mainly need to know how each hum is wired..... I've seen different wiring for hums... Some have both perminantly grounded at one end and some have one grounded and one perminantly to the hot side with a switched ground side.

I've searched (way too much) through threads but have not found what I'm looking for. I don't even need wire colors...I can figure that out easily. Just need to know the above.

thanks
 
The actual wiring diagrams aren't on the site- you've got to get them from CS. But the Axis wiring is the standard HH Dimarzio setup. Green to ground, white & black & to each other, red to wiring harness. So outside coil is green -> white and the inside coil is black -> red.

To get the outside coils, use the white wires as the output (green -> white). And for the inside coils, ground the black wires (black -> red).

Hope that helps.

Perfect.....exactly what I needed! Thanks.
