I have two Dimarzio Area pickups and a Duncan STK- S1n (original Classic Stack, not the new Stack "Plus").

I just want to wire them to a regular 5-way Strat lever switch.
I know the Areas are red- hot, green- ground, blk & wht together.

What wires for the Duncan do I use?

I have the basic color comparison chart- I just wanted to know how these specific DMZs and Duncans get wired.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't that one have the 4-con lead?  If so, green is ground and black is hot. Tape or heat-shrink anything else.

Looked at the ones I have.

Mine are either 2-con and a bare or 3-con and a bare.

Either way, white is hot and black/bare go together for ground. On the 3-con the 3rd is a red that supposedly takes it into true single coil mode (loses the noiseless feature, I suppose).


Outside of that, SD cust support might be the ones to get with for further confirmation.

It's fine. I did what I said- green hot- black ground and it's a go!

IIRC Duncan singles have the opposite polarity of DiMarzio singles, so reverse hot and ground on one or the other.

Nothing to add here.
