Just sharing what I found out today.

The guitar is a Gibson Traditional II Floyd Rose. The electronics are pcb mounted and include (3) push/push pots. One for bridge split, another for neck split and the last one for boost. And the pickups use a five way version of this kind of connector. Which you would have to buy and install on your BKPs:



According to online sources; The pickups that my guitar came with, Gibson Classic and Hot Classic codes are:

North Start: RED
North Finish: WHITE

South Start: GREEN
South Finish: BLACK


And according to Bareknuckle's site, their humbuckers are: (In my case Rebel Yell set)


North Start: RED
North Finish: GREEN

South Start: WHITE
South Finish: BLACK




So, basically the only changes are between the green and white wires, right? Well it didn't work. This were the results:

Bridge: Sounded like a bridge but when push the volume for split, I got no sound. Then for the neck: The opposite. With volume control in normal position, no sound. With the volume pushed for split I got a full neck sound.

Anyway, after trying a few times. I went online and found this other chart:



So I tried it and it worked. So it turns out that the color code was exactly the same. Not sure who's wrong but just in case that you're doing this, hope that this helps.

Here's my guitar's cavity for reference:
