Wiring Help Needed!!
eeeeek! the wiring diagram i got of ibanez is probably the same! The selector switch can be a bit confusing to wire eh? Do this:
1)Choose a pickup configuration you like (or just go with the old configuration, get that of the website)
2)Draw the out the wiring. (you should be able to work out which lead from the humbuckers is the humbucker output, and which one the split (single coil) output.
3)with a resistance meter, figure out which pads on the selector switch correspond to which position, and which is the output (bottom most pad, i think).
4)If I remember correctly, the switch in the s540 is one of those 4-plate things (4 rows of 6pads, 2 each side). Each plate is like an independant switch, which means if you plan it out a bit, that you can some pretty cool wirings. To make things more interesting the switch seems to have reverse ordering on one 2 of the plates.
5)Work out how you are going to wire the selector switch. (This is where the wiring diagram will help). Note that you might end up having wires go from one plate to another...
The switch is a bit of a bitch to work out, as I don't think there are any clear marks on it, but once you've worked out which pads correspond to which selector switch position you can work it out, as long as you know which wire is which from the pickups.
I don't know if this helps, but I had the same problem ages ago while putting EMG's in. I found the best way was to work it out for yourself and by trial and error...
Good Luck!
