Sterling pickup question (edit because I'm mixed up)

[mark123]

I asked in another thread but it was way off topic so I'll ask in a fresh thread.

The Sterling pickup has 4 leads for splitting the pickup:

White
Black
Green
Red

Most splitting pickups have these same lead colors but they function differently so if anyone knows which is which can you let me know?

Thanks

Actually, I am going to add a pickup. So I need to know which two leads to splice into to add a single coil (no splitting).

Black and red are normal + and - but usually on a split pickup the red and green are connected to join the two coils in series and the white is the + and the black the -...although I've seen it other ways. I just wanted to make sure before I tear into this and it ends up costing me repair money.

I own a sterling as well. I can't help you with your question but am curious what you are putting in.
