Ive removed scratchplate from above - easy molex connector +1
Stock pickups - custom dimarzio with red n black leads -1. ( not sure which is which)
switch - expected std 5 way -1 ( super switch ? )
so as I havent a clue how to navigate switch n wiring ive removed stock bridge pu and left a portion of existing wire on the super switch - so i know where to connect and to avoid my crap soldering screwing up switch or shorting something out .
So i have lil59 with red n white leads connected together n taped off .
Leaving me with a black lead and green lead / earth wire combo to connect ...
so my learned collesgues - what do i do next ?
Ps - just for ref simple swap out - not attempting
to use single coli options / phase reversal etc on the 'lil59
Comments
was your AL sss or hh ?
I think that should be in phase. If not, swap green and black.

@ICBM
many thanks gents - will give it a go early am
medium output pickup which balances well with stock dimarzios - would not consider dropping a coil out in this guitar .
+2 for molex connector - can remove the pick guard and work on it away from the guitar.
+3 for support from forumites @Winny_Pooh
and @ICBM
The only way to get it is if you auto-split the humbucker to the right coil in the in-between position, which will need a spare contact available on the 5-way switch.

just reverse the existing connections ( what would be outcome of that btw? ) - tbh Im not bothered as the out of phase settings on any strat style guitar are not some where i spend a lot of time :-)
im well impressed with lil59 so far - rehearsal tomorrow and looking fwd to a decent volume try out - thanks again .
You're hearing the hum from the middle pickup. To cancel it, you need another single coil which is producing the opposite hum - ie RWRP with respect to it.
