Help installing emg zw set in Ibanez RG


Here's what I have:

EMG ZW set (81 & 85)

Ibanez RG2EX1 (HH with 3 way switch)

Here's the diagram I'm looking at:

Here's what my switch looks like:

The switches don't look the same to me and it's throwing me off.

Does any one have a better diagram???

Thanks!

Ronnie

its pretty much the same switch, the important thing to remember are the numbers shown in the diagram (1-8 ) just find out which is 1 and which is 8 on your one and should become apparent (sorry for the rather vauge answer)

I'm not familliar with that switch, but assuming it is nothing freaky:
Swap the wires on the switch like for like - disconnect the wire from the current neck pickup, replace it with the wire shown going to tab 8 on your diagram, bridge pickup as if it was tab 4, hot remains the same from the switch. Everything else is on the diagram is the same.
