Does anybody know which colors the 2-conductor wiring has?

Are they the same as other brands like Gibson?
I want to install some Bare Knuckles in my Les paul, but I don't know if the colors are different from Gibson pickups or other brands.

two conductor is obvious - there is a braided metal shield that goes around the pickup wire - thats the ground.  Push that back and the hot wire will be snuggling in the middle

So it's all working just the same way as with the 2-conductor Gibson pickups?

yeah, takeout the gibson pickups, Pull back the braided setion on the new pickups (may have to unravel it a bit) and wire it  to the back of the volume pot - then wire the hot wire from he middle of the braided wire to the hot tag of the pot - just copy how it was before!!
