OK,
Bought a pair of Vanson '57s to replace a couple of Gibson P90s
Also bought a couple of after market quick connect adapters.
Anyone have any clues on wiring?
Gibson colours are:
RED: North Start
WHITE: North Finish
BLACK: South Start
GREEN: South Finish
BARE: Ground
Vanson colours are:
YELLOW North Start
RED: North Finish
BLACK: South Start*
WHITE: South Finish
*BARE (which comes soldered together with the black - but I've separated them): Ground.
Colours on the Quick Connects are Red, Black, Yellow, Green, Blue. but I can see which colour goes where on the plug.
Looked online and noticed that the Neck and Bridge pickups are wired differently.
I presume this is a phase thing??
I don't want to coil split, just want to plug my new pickups into my existing PCB on my SG.
If I join the Vanson North Start yellow to the Gibson North start red and so on, will this get me where I want to be?
Thanks in advance.

The convention is that the North start/finish conductors come from the stud poles coil.
Even if you have no intention of using coil splits, it is necessary to follow the connector block wiring convention. The series link between the coils is made on the PCB.

Presumably, this has one-size-fits-all pickup cavities. With a change of 'guard, it can sport either P90s or humbuckers.
New pickguard needed unfortunately.

As you say @ICBM New pickguard needed or abandon the project - probably the latter.
