Wiring BK Black Dogs in a PRS 5 way roatary switch - PLEASE HELP!!!!

[CLund]

Okay... So I have done my research... And this is what I have found...  And this is what I think I should do.

I am putting in a set of BareKnuckle Black Dogs in a PRS CE24 with a 5 way rotary switch.  I have special ordered the pickups to do so as well.  The Neck pickup has the magnet rotated properly and it should work.   I have matched up PRS's Pickup leads to the Bare Knuckle as well...  Please tell me if this is correct:

PRS NECK Leads:
North Start - WHITE
North Finish/South Finish - RED
South Start - Black

PRS BRIDGE Leads:
North Start - BLACK
North Finish/South Finish - RED
South Start - White

Bare Knuckle Pickup Leads (Neck and Bridge):
North Start - RED
North Finish/South Finish - Green and White (Soldered Together)
South Start - Black

So --- To match the listing above... I should wire as so:
BK Bridge RED to PRS Bridge BLACK
BK Bridge GREEN/WHITE to PRS Bridge RED
BK Bridge BLACK to PRS Bridge WHITE
 = and =
BK Neck RED to PRS Neck WHITE
BK Neck GREEN/WHITE to PRS Neck RED
BK Neck BLACK to PRS Neck Black


I have also attached a diagram that will show PRS Wiring on top and My BK Pickup Wiring below.




IS ALL THIS CORRECT?!?!?!    Please let me know!

Thanks,
Corey

Why don't you try it?

Never hurt to attempt it through trial and error.
Just make sure the ground is grounded and away you go.

I will try it...  Just wanted to see if I could get a sanity check before I rip into it.  :)


Here are the wire codes from Bare Knuckle Website:

BK-Humbucker 4 Conductor color code
Black =start of screw coil
White = finish of screw coil
Red = start of slug coil
Green = finish of slug coil

PRS 3 conductor color code:
PRS Neck
BLACK =start of screw coil
RED = finish of screw coil AND start of slug coil
WHITE = finish of slug coil
PRS Bridge
WHITE =start of screw coil
RED = finish of screw coil AND start of slug coil
BLACK = finish of slug coil

Here are some pictures of my setup... I hope to put them in this weekend.   I really think these pickups will look BAD ASS in this guitar!!!!

[CLund]

Okay.... Here they are installed!!!!















And here are my thoughts:

First thing I noticed was the drop in output...  There was a BIG difference between the 9k BK Bridge - to the PRS HFS pickup... Not as noticible difference to on the neck pickup.   But I am okay with that, a little extra volume and all is fine.  I actually like it better this way... AND LET ME TELL YOU, This guitar now pours out TONS of creamy tone!!!   Very detailed cords, you can hear every note, very round and full sounding.   The PRS pickups are good pickups, but the BareKnuckles are much more organic.

Money Well Spent... and I really like the look of the burnt chrome pickups in this guitar!!!

I am a happy man!

Well done (nice look)!My luthier had all kind of troubles to wire my BKP Mules in my PRS Cu22..!And you found a lot of useful informations about PRS wiring too!The drop in output is normal from PRS pu's to BD's.Esp.the HFS.Would you describe the BlackDogs as "bright"?

I thought that might've been the purple PRS CE 24 I had a while back, but the grains different I think.

Looks great with those pickup in, are those metal surrounds? I wouldn't mind trying those on my PRS CU 24 in Emerald Green... I have Creame and Black surrounds but these look extra special.

Never heard anyone putting Black Dogs into a PRS, hope it sounds great, do come back with a tone report and maybe some clips!
