I just corrected the wiring diagram. The information given to me by Sterling’s support regarding the wire colors was incorrect. So, here’s the diagram with the correct colors. I tested it, and now the pickups are fully connected in parallel, and the sound is really beautiful. Very "MusicMan,"...

You’ll have to spend a lot more. The second-hand market has exploded in recent years, at least in Europe. I’m not sure how the market is in the U.S. And maybe you can get an H for a few hundred dollars more, but you’ll need to spend much more for a Special (HH).
