Solder together the white and red wires and tape them off. Solder the green and bare wires to the back of the pot and the black wire to the pot's lug. This will give you standard series humbucker wiring.

BTW, Welcome to the forum.

thanks, will it use both coils though?

Yes. It'll be fully humbucking and throwing out its full output.

im thinking about getting a neck pickup....any suggestions?

No problem.

What kind of guitar is it? Also, what amp do you play through? Finally, what music are you into?

Invader / Jazz EXCELLENT COMBO (IMO) I love it for metal!

Yeah, Jazz would work well, as would a 59 for a bit more thump from the neck.
