OK, I know this question get asked with some frequency, and I have HAVE searched the old threads, which is actually why I am asking.
I am good with flipping the magnet, but which wiring scheme below is correct? I am wiring to the PC board switch

quot;SD Green = PRS Black
SD Black = PRS White
SD Red/White soldered together = PRS Red
SD bare = PRS barequot;

quot;The other thing you have to do is to use a non-standard wiring for the SD pickup. You will want to wire the white lead as hot, the red lead as ground and the black and green wires will be used as the coil tap lead. If you have the newer, pc board connected 5 way switches you will notice that the pc board is marked with the letters B, R and W over the holes where the pickup leads are connected to the board. Connect the red wire to the B hole, connect the black/green wires to the R hole and the white wire to the W hole. I found it easiest to use small lead ends (stripped) and to tin the wire ends with some solder so they thread through the holes in the PC board easier. What I did was to hold the tinned end onto the hole in the face of the pc board and to heat the hole from the rear of the pc board. When the solder heats up the hole will open and the wire should slide through. Doing this can be a little frustrating but it's the easiest way to do it short of cutting the leads on the PRS pickup and leaving the original wires connected to the switch and then connecting the SD pickup to the old leads.
It is also helpful to connect the green and black wires in a way that leaves only one of the wires copper exposed on the end. If you just twist both wires together and solder them, the wire will be too thick to thread through the hole in the PC board. What I might suggest is to strip those leads long and wrap one around the other back away from the end of the other, and then tin the whole thing so that you really only have the copper from one of the leads going into the hole. It makes things go smoother during installation.quot;
Flip the magnet and wire the pickups into the pc board as you have listed above.
The SD white to hot is only when mixing one SD and one PRS pickup in the same guitar.
Just so I completely understand,
The wiring for two Duncan's is
SD Green = PRS Black
SD Black = PRS White
SD Red/White soldered together = PRS Red
SD bare = PRS bare
Thanks,
