The latest... Pickup and control wiring:
Don't know what the sticker code means:
First time setting up a 4 pole 5-way superswitch:
What I'm shooting for in the 5 pickup selections:
Position 1: Bridge in series
P 2: Bridge & neck outside coils in parallel
P 3: Bridge & neck in parallel
P 4: Bridge & neck inside coils in parallel
P 5: Neck in series
If positions 2 & 4 sound too redundant, I'll look into an alternative for one of those positions. I'm struggling hard to understand how these superswitches work. So, I used one of these diagrams with the same type of settings that I'm looking for:
I adjusted the wiring color scheme to match the Wilde pickups. Judging by the DC Resistance readings, it looks like it's working right.
I used the following info for which wire is which:
I hope I did it right. Won't know for sure until I receive the new tuners... string it up... and wank away!

That sticker looks like it might be for the finish color or something like that. My raw bodies didn't come with one.

Yes.
Well, after one more week of staring at multiple wiring diagrams, and receiving solid info from forum member Stratamania of the Unofficial Warmoth forum, I realized I did not figure out the wiring correctly.
Here’s the corrected version that properly adjusts for the Wilde pickup wiring:
The big difference was that I had the pickups hot wire (white) and ground wire (black) connected in reverse.
BUT… I also found another diagram that I prefer more. This diagram gives me in position 2, a neck-split with the outer coil being tapped for service, rather than having the two outside coils in parallel. My ultimate choice for position 2 would be to have the neck pup in parallel. I don’t know if this can be done without adding extra switching components.

I like that color. What is it?I think you will love the neck. I have that exact same combination from Warmoth with stainless frets. Of course my Strat body pales in comparison to yours
Is your wenge neck unfinished?
What pups?
