from http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/faq...rt/schematics/

All dual coils and humbuckers except Music Man replacement - for series: black = hot, green plus bare = ground, red and white together and taped off. For parallel: black and red = hot, green, white, and bare = ground. Black and white are the bridge coil and red and green are the neck coil.

I can draw you a schematic.
Which coil is active in single coil mode?

Well, assuming you want both pickups to use the north coils in single coil mode, here is your schematic:



If you wanted south coils, or one north and one south, swap the north and south + wires on the switch.

If you want the single coil humcan you'll have to wire the two opposite coil (bridge: coil closer to the bridge - neck: coil closer to the neck and viceversa).

'ssup Nino?

Good question. If you want only single/para you'll need just only one switch. If you use two and switch one pup para and the other single you'll have hum.
