Back from the dead, T1a restoration

So as the sub title suggests I need some help with wiring in a new pair of pickups, been tearing my (thinning) hair out all afternoon and just can't get sorted.
Ive got this Artec HB set with
Green - Live
Red & White - split
Black & Chrome - Earth

now, when I removed the MMK45' I cut the wires neat in the cavity so I don't need to fish about with the iron and just solder wire to wire.
Neck pup is fine, but I can't get the bridge to coil cut and phase reverse together, either way I wire this I'm getting just coil cut OR phase reverse....driving me nuts.

I take it the 45's bridge is:
white = live
red = coil
green = phase?

or am I way off? which of the new pups wires do I attach to which 45 wire?

Got it, I think.

on the MMK45, the green and white wires go to the phase reverse switch
red goes to the coil tap switch

Yep,  I left the original soldering in place and left 2" of pup cable to work with.

I love a happy ending. *sniff*

This is the second time you've done this.

Do it same as the first.....

Artec's are a different colour code

No damian it's more like the 10th time,  but will I learn?  No. 
It was just the different colour codes I struggled with,  plus guitar wiring just doesn't want to lodge itself in my thick head no matter how many times I try.

Sgt Vimes, I have indeed been inspired to do a bit of refinishing an old neck through I picked up cheap and fancied a go with a stain (to the wings) and then clear lacquer ove the whole lot...

What stain did you use for you Thunder?

Thanks

Bolgers water based, a little goes a lonnngg looonnnggg way ;-)

Here's a little late update on how this looked with the gold Artec pups (bought for the prestige before I sourced the MMK75's)


Didn't like these at all in this, looked fine but sadly they are sterile, characterless and now back in the drawer waiting to go in a guitar to sell

I guess you DO get what you pay for.....£25 a pair....

EDIT:  sourced one more brass knob to complete a set, nice

Good job!
