GKW kits that use this wiring

  • HSS S-style variants: ST-RSBC-1 and similar HSS-configured S-style kits

Tips

  • Same 5-way switch as SSS wiring, but bridge position is a humbucker. Bridge humbucker gives more output and sustain compared to a single-coil bridge.
  • Wire colors may vary between kit batches — match by position, not color.
