Need help installing Dimarzio in RG570!!

[King Nothing]

I'm replacing the v8 bridge pickup in my guitar with an Evo and am confused about how to do it. The stock pickup has a bare ground wire, a red wire, and a white wire. The dimarzio has bare, red, white, green, and black. Where do I connect the extra wires?
I'm guessing red goes to where the old red was, white goes where the old white was, green and bare both go to ground, so that leaves black
Thanks

From the Dimarzio website:

For normal series-humbucking wiring, solder the black and white wires to each other and insulate that connection with tape. The red wire is the hot output and the green and bare wires go to ground, usually by soldering them to the back of a pot. If the pickup sounds "out-of-phase" when played with other pickups, use the green as hot and connect the red and bare to ground.
For further instructions select the PICKUP button at the top of the page. Select the model you are interested in. Then select the WIRING DIAGRAMS button.

Now look at the wiring diagram posted on this website:

The link doesn't work!

The info you quoted from their site is for series humbucking though, I need to know what to do for coil tapping/splitting. I want it to work the same as the stocker did

So unless someone tells me differently, I'm gonna solder the red where the old red was, the white where the old white was, the green and bare to ground, and solder the black to the same place as the white.
Please let me know if this is wrong guys!

well I did what I wrote above. I jsut gotta reattach the bridge and retune and I can try her out and see if I wired it right.

Sorry about that but then again, I found it here. Did you try looking for the info here in the Setup section? I just knew where it was because I figured it would be here, considering all the information that's available here.

Yes, I am aware of that. The information I provided from Dimarzio's site was intended to inform you of the pickup's wiring arrangement.

sweet, well it looks like i did it just like the pic for the jem except i put the green and the bare on the bottom of the volume pot. I'll find out in about 5 minutes if it was right

Hey I am having the same problem. I have an RG520 and want to replace the V8/V7 pickups with a FRED in the bridge and a PAF PRO in the Neck. How did it work for you KING Nothing?

it worked perfectly.
I didn't realize the Evo would be so crunchy

Evos work very well with medium gain, classic hard rock sounds. Crank the volume as loud as your neighbors can stand it and keep the gain no higher than it takes for the amp to break up and sizzle a bit.
