    @Dedman do you know if the 2x halves of the bridge are the same? I mean would you need to be able to select one or the other to get different sounds or it wouldn't really matter?

    You could use the following options for that pup:
    * single coil (one of the 4 coils, hardwired)
    * std humbucker (one of the 2 hb)
    * 2 humbucker parallel (equivalent to middle switch position of a 2x hb guitar)
    * 2 humbucker series (so your 4 coils in series! That would be very beefy!)

    Might be interesting to set up the guitar and install pups, jack,etc. but not connect the switch and find a way of leaving all the wires exposed at the back.

    This way you could try different configs before deciding on which ones you want to hardwire.
    I was considering using RCA connectors or banana plugs for mine to do something similar for my 3x pup SG.

    You have so many wiring options with these pickups that it would be hard to know which ones are good without trying!
