I thought I would stick this up here in case anybody wanted it.

It may come in handy.

Hey!

Great work putting everything in one concise chart, and I don't want to be a pain or anything, but I believe for the BKP green and white wires should be reversed.
For BKP:
North Start - Red
North Finish - Green
South Finish - White
South Start - Black

I get it doesn't matter for full humbucker wiring, but if somebody does splits or some complex wiring, it may confuse them.

Cheers.

Oh i did't make this. I should have pointed that out. I just found it when clearing through and old backup hard disk.

I'll see what i can do about swapping those wires around.
