    Default Help a brotha out with wiring?

    So I'm about to wire up a new pickup in my PRS, and I want to be able to split both the neck and the bridge. This diagram is the closest I can find, but my tone pot is the push-pull. What can I do to adjust to my situation?

    That is applicable. That switch would be on the back of the pot. Should do what you need.

    I believe it's called "dubstep".

    Compare the magnetic polarity and coil winding direction of the original and replacement pickups. The PRS almost certainly has one pickup RP/RW with respect to the other. This is to keep the guitar hum-cancelling when both pickups are selected in the Split mode.

    The diagram shows the volume pot being push/pull. I need it on the other one.

    It doesn't matter in which pot the push/pull switch actually is in. You do the exact same wiring but the p/p is just located in the tone pot. So the capasitor will be wired to the back of the tone pot and the little black wire coming from the two bottom lugs of the p/p will be wired to the back of the tone pot. It's that simple.
