Check this out:

It states that the Green wre is humbucker out and the white is Single out, but both are dependant on another colour each.

I'm asuming you want the 5way to select the different coils. You may have to e-mail EMG about it. They should help you out...

No, I've read the EMG's pdf file looong time ago, but there is nothing there about the orange wire, or possibilities of wiring, and everywhere else there is the same schematic saying ' bla,bla,bla, use the push-pull, and that's it. nothing about mixing thise two separate parts of the pickup etc. i emailed them but they keep saying that same ' ol'blues' over and over and over....
