  1. First, I'm not real sure what you mean by "both the humbucking and string coils", but I have one of these in an old Melody Maker D Reissue.

    I have the bridge PU about 1/16" or a bit more from the strings. The pole pieces are adjustable, but I doubt you can tell much difference in raising individual

    screws a little. If you raise or lower the whole PU, or one side, say 1/16" to 1/8", you can tell some difference.

    Do what I do, try adjusting it to how it sounds best to your ears.

    Not sure if this will help or not. I don't have any Epi pickups here with 4-conductor wiring and my pc with most of my electronics/diagrams

    is down right now. But I believe Gibson and Epi use the same color coded wiring.

    The green and white wires are for coil splitting; just solder them together, put a piece of electrical tape over them, and forget about them, if you aren't going to hook up coil splitting. The red wire is the hot lead. Tin it and solder it to the terminal. Twist the black wire and the bare wire together, tin them, and solder them to the pot casing.
