Cloning my G&L: Never done 4 conductior wiring ... some input please?

Hi there,

I know it's a crap shoot, but I've decided to try to clone the sound of my G&L f-100 II using a Warmoth body and neck.
If I can get close I'll be happy.

Anyway ...
I got set of the 80's MFD pickups that were used in the F-100 II but have never done any wiring of 4 conductor pickups,
and I'm not really good reading schematics so I wanted to ask for your input.
I don't want or need the split coil option so all I need to know is what two colors to use for full humbucker use.
I'll do the phase switch like I know how for a 2 conductor humbucker.

My readings are showing:
Neck:
White and Green: 7.14
White and Black: 3.60
Black and Green: 3.53
Yellow and any other: nothing
-------------------------------------
Bridge:
White and Green: 7.65
White and Black: 3.89
Black and Green: 3.75
Yellow and any other: nothing
---------------------------------------------------------
So My guess is that Green is ground and White is hot for full humbucker? Can you confirm or correct me?

See attached schematic
Thank you!

Judging from the schematics, I'll say you're right.
Plus the yellow should also go to ground.
 
Thanks Logrinn
Sometimes I just need to get an other to verify my quess.
Much appreciated
