Andy Timmons Wiring question

[bodhijames]

Hi All,

Does anyone have or know the wiring setup for the Ibanez AT100 model?
I am installing two Cruiser DP187's and an AT-1 in one of my Strats and would like to at least start with the stock wiring Ibanez uses and go from there.

thanks!

While I don't know the exact wiring that Ibanez uses, I would bet that they use the the same (if not similar) wiring as the Jem H/S(H)/H wiring from the dimarzio website, seeing as how they are all essentially humbuckers. Keep in mind you'd need a multipole switch instead of the standard strat switch, though.

The wiring in the AT guitars are pretty different from the RG/JEM H-S-H wiring.
It is wired up with 2 volume and one master tone.

One volume that is master for all pickups (the one closest to the pickups) and the next one are a volume for middle and neck pickup (so they can be at lower volume than the bridge).

The switch are wired the same way as a RG H-S-H guitars.
1.Bridge
2. Bridge + middle (EDIT: It was not a splitt bridge pickup as I remembered it).
3. Middle
4. Middle + neck
5. Neck

Thanks guys!

The nice folks at Dimarzio supplied me with this AT schematic so I wanted to pass it on in case anyone was interested. The two volume config is something i have never thought of, but I like the concept and can't wait to give it a try.

Cool that you got a diagram (you need very good eys to read it, it is very little).

I didn't like the concept, so I removed it on my AT guitars.

Yeah, sorry about that. i was in a hurry when I uploaded it. I've got the actual gif which is much bigger if anyone wants it.

Mind if I ask what wiring config you ended up with on you At's?

thanks!

No, problem, I have it anyway.


I ended up changing the middle pickup to a HS-2 (bridge and neck original At-1 and crusier).
Then its hooked up.
1. bridge
2. bridge split + middle (top coil only)
3. middle
4. neck + middle (top coil only)
5. neck

One master volume.
One tone for bridge and one for middle + neck.

I use the tone control a lot, so I preferred it that way.

I changed the middle pickup to get more strat like 2 and 4 sounds.

Hi Magnus,

How did you decide that the HS-2 worked best for strat like sound in 2 and 4 position? I've read people using a fasttrack1 for middle pickup but that's even hotter than a cruiser so I doubt this will sound correctly.

Hi bodhijames!
Can I ask you a favor?
Could you please upload the bigger diagram, 'cause i'm very interested in it...
By the way: does anyone know how the cruiser sounds when it is splitted? And above all... is there any sense in splitting a hum cancelling dual blade pickup like the cruiser?
Many thanks!!!!

I am also trying to do something similar. I'm building a strat style guitar with his pickup setup / wiring.
