“Example part” means any part with the same value and lugs will do; the source does not name a brand. “Generic” stands in for an unspecified pickup: check your own pickup's lead colours before you solder.
Specific to this wiring
- Cap-before-pot tone like 1_P90_1V_1T; white is hot and black+bare are ground per the sheet.
Connections
In soldering order: grounds first, then the switch, the pickups and the signal path.

Check before plugging in
Measure across the output jack with a multimeter on its resistance range. No exact readings are given where the source does not specify the pickups.
