Hello,
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. This is also my first post as well.
I recently purchased a Fender American Deluxe Shawbucker HSS and I want to change the neck and middle pickups to Duncan STK-S4s. I'm not very well versed in the Fender color codes for the N3s vs the Duncan STK-S4s. I don't want to disconnect all the wires, just connect the Duncans with the N3 terminals, as in connect the color coded wires of the N3s with those of the Duncans.
The Duncan neck has 4 wires: Red, black, white, tan.
The N3 neck has 3 wires: white, green, black
The Duncan mid has 4 wires: Red, black, white and gold.
The N3 neck has 3 wires: blue, green, black

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. I live in Bangladesh and I can't really take it to a guitar shop either.
The N3s have 3 wires:

Look at seymour Duncan STK-S4 wiring and do the same , forget your N3 color code

If I look at first wiring diagram ;

STK-S4 white wire go to the selector switch
red is not use , tape it
Black to the guitar ground ( pots )
Other wire ( tan or gold ) to guitar ground too

See, thats the thing. If you look at the S-1 switch on the strat it makes it hard to understand what goes where.

Take a look here:

I need to know what the wires from the N3 pickups correspond to the Duncan STKs. That way I can connect to the S1 switch.
