Thanks. Well setup would be: Both pots 500k. Figure a .022 cap would suit this setup.
quarter pound in neck, ssl3 in middle, Dimarzio dual sound connected to push pull which would give a coil split. I assume the coil split would be active in all positions, but not sure since Im not too savy with these 5 way switches.

I had examined two other schematics for reference, but they both differed in some connection locations. Thanks for any clarification

Got it. We'll use only the above Duncan schematic with a few changes due to the color coding of the DiMarzio leads. One question: Do you want the coil cut with the push/pull switch up or with it down?

Coil cut with the knob pulled up.

So looking at the Seymour Duncan schematic, I'd want the Dimarzio wired up as follows :

Dimarzio
Green = hot 5way
White + Black wires = soldered to that small terminal on the push/pull
Red + Bare wire - Ground to pot

Normally you said Red would be the hot and Green would go to ground, but to swap them since my single coils are out of phase with the dimarzio.

Hopefully I got this right? :?:

Thanks for taking the time out of your holidays to help!

With the above Duncan diagram, wire the pickup selector switch as shown except for where they have the Duncan bridge pickup black wire going to the selector switch. This will be your DiMarzio green wire. The DiMarzio red wire shall go to ground.

Now look at the push/pull pot switch. See the Duncan's red and white wires? These shall be the DiMarzio's black and white wires. You will also see the bottom left terminal has a wire going to ground. You shall change that to the top left terminal going to ground. That's it!

Now just in case your bridge pickup is out of phase with the middle pickup, reverse the DiMarzio's red and green wires.

As always, you're quite welcome and if you have any more questions, just yell!

I actually think a Super Distortion is the best answer for a Floyd Rose. A Tone Zone does the same thing. It puts back a lot of bass and mids lost by the floyd rose. If your using a Fender Tremolo or Fender Locking you can enjoy many styles of Humbuckers. I use the D'Activater in my Deluxe and it walks all over my Les Paul with Evolutions in it. So if you have a Fender Tremolo I would use the JB
