    Hi Fred, nice choice. Same ones installed in my EX-5.

    Check out these links for how I did the coil splits...

    Edit: For Simon's benefit, Bensons arrived with no wiring diagrams whatsoever and a multi meter was used to figure out what went where. On first attempt wired one split coil the wrong way around which is what you are supposed to do on a guitar humbucker but that PUP sounded awful whilst the other one was sweet. Simply swapped where the red & green wires were to match the better sounding PUP and all good.

    Emailing and complaining to the manufacturer, who actually is a guest on this forum, is probably not the best way to get desired results when a small amount of basic tinkering can suffice.

    Fred, if you need more info let me know and I can open up the EX-5 if required to refresh my memory. Couple of shots attached taken for Ozzie to help him on his TB4 recently...
