RS Modern kit certainly doesn't look the same to me. The end-result may be the same, but my guitar is wired differently from the picture they have on their site.

In the stock diagram, the equivalent wires would be the two shielded yellow wires going to the 3-way and the shielded wire going to the jack.

Looking at the RS Modern kit on their website, you have to flip it over 180 degrees to get the proper orientation.



Looks like they're just using the Black Rose Custom wiring, but with a wire jumper instead of jumping across with the cap leg.

So, is there an advantage/disadvantage to wiring it either way (RS/Rose Custom vs. Stock)?
