Changing pickups in older ibanez...need help


Hi,
i have an ibanez (about 15 yrs old) and i'm changing the
current pickups with Dimarzio one's. The setting is a s-s-h, a master volume knob and 3 switches, one for every pickup (the single pickups switches are 2 way off/on and the humbucker a 3 way switch off/single/humbucker).The old pickups have 2 wires, red (which i think is the hot) and white...and the bare.
These are the connections:-

The neck pickup: red and bare soldered together to back of volume and white to the 1st switch
The middle pickup: white and bare soldered together to back of volume and red to the 2nd switch
The bridge pickup (humbucker): red and white soldered separetly to the 3rd switch and the bare grounded to the back of the switch.

As the Dimarzio pickups have 4 wires (red,green,black,white)and a barre i need to know which wires to solder instead of the red and white old ones...(or maybe a new wiring diagram). Thanks.

Re: Changing pickups in older ibanez...need help


finding help on dimarzio for the wiring diagram is useless.

singles.. black and white together soldered and taped, green and ground to back of volume, red to hot.

as for the bridge I never seen one wired on a on/on/on switch where it was used as a switch to turn on and off, but also a coil tap.. Generally when you coil tap there would be the white and black soldered to one lug, the other lug would have a ground wire soldered on and sent to the back of a pot.

yes ibanezcollector i think you are right....the humbucker has the red soldered to one lug, the next lug have a ground wire soldered on and sent to the back of the pot and the other lug has the white wire soldered to it. How about replacing the new red with old red wires and the new black and white with the old white?
