Humbucker issue in my rg


hey guys

i recently bought an evolution bridge and some old dimarzio neck pickups for my RG and now everything is wired and grounded perfectly, i followed the wiring diagram DiMarzio have on there website for H/S/H, and te single coil works brilliantly but as soon as i switch to the neck or bridge humbucker the sound is soft and weak from them, please help, i heard i have to replace my 5 way switch

Re: Humbucker issue in my rg


im using a fender 5 way switch, i also see that maybe i need to swop the wires on my single coil around but the issue is that only position 3 works and 1 2 4 and 5 is crap and hardly hearable

Sounds like the pickups are out of phase, just reverse the polarity.

Try swapping the black with red before you change the selector switch....
