H-S-H help needed


I am in the process of putting together my new Ibanez kick ass guitar. I could probably string it up tonight and see how it sounds if I could get it wired.
I am currently using some old 3-wire pickups (Ibanez made) until I decide on what new ones to buy.
I have an H-S-H configuration with 1 tone, and 1 volume, and one 5 way switch that has the 4 on one side, 4 on the other configuration.
I have been searching and searching, but I cannot find a wiring diagram to match this set-up.

Does anyone here have a link to a diagram for a HSH 3 wire pup, with this configuration???

If so, please post it here. I have this badass guitar here waiting to be strung up and plugged in, but I want to do it right.

Thanks-

Re: H-S-H help needed


Thanks for the reply bucket_bot. I have been through many of the diagrams on that website, and they are good, but they show either a 4 or a 5 wire pickup. The switch they show is the one I am using, but pickups I have are 3 wire. I guess I will just figure it out by trial and error.

Re: H-S-H help needed


Okay guys check it out. Here is where I am at on my frankenstein RG;

Until I find/decide on a bridge position pup, I am installing a V1, an S1, and another 3 wire pickup in the neck position (I think its a SD of some sort).

So the problem I have is this; I cannot find a wiring diagram that matches exactly all of my components, with the main issue being the 5-way switch. And since I am not a pickup installing genius, I would really just like to be lazy and fine the exact schematic.

The diagram from Ibanez that fits my set-up (minus my switch) is here;
http://ibanez.com/support/wiringdiagrams.aspx

Enter a 2007 RG350DX - That is my config (again, without that switch)

For a diagram that shows the type of switch I have (not solid state, and except mine is a 5-way, not a 3-way), punch in a 98 RG1608.

That rig has 5 wires per pup, mine has 3.

And thank you for your time.

Re: H-S-H help needed


I sat looking at another Ibanez I have for about an hour last night, trying to figure out how to wire them. I came up with this; someone please correct me if I am wrong.

The white wire from the output plug (white in mine) powers up the volume, which then bridges to power up the tone, and the 5 way switch?

In a 3-wire pickup, one is always ground, and each of the remaining wires power up each row of poles in the pickup (north/south)?

Same for single coil.

So to have the bridge pickup fully 'on', all I have to do is make sure each of the wires (white & red) have power to them?? And of course properly grounded.

To wire the rest of the pups, I just determine what configuration I want, and make sure the wires that need to be powered at the proper time are hooked to the proper connector on the 5 way switch???

So then just get my multimeter out and go to town.

In a 5-wire pup, the extra 2 wires are for wiring in parallel, or for hum-cancelling????


So, am I close????
