Paf pro in my RG2, im having difficulties !! Help !!


Hi all.
I recently installed a Dimarzio Super Distortion 3, into the bridge of my RG2 Giger. and it sounds awesome. I now bought a Pafpro and put it in the neck position. But for the life of me I can't get the wiring correct.

I got red, white, black, silver and blue wires going into the giger, that were there from my inf 2 pup.

I have both the, dimarzio wiring diagram and the Ibanez diagram, and they just don't seem to add up. I am at the point of guessing and the best i can come up with is 4th position and 5th position sound identical. middle 2nd and 1st sound the different as its always sounded which is great. But the 4th and 5th sound the same

What am I doing wrong ?

Can someone post a definitive, Dimarzio/Ibanez pup comparison wire color thingo. Its getting ridiculas

cheers

Red is (hot)...goes on pot
Green and bare goes on ground (pot)
Black and white goes on the coil-split location on the pot

That was the case with Ibanez V8 - DiMarzio Evolution change on bridge.
On the neck should be the same thing i guess

Re: Paf pro in my RG2, im having difficulties !! Help !!


I posted the following on a another thread. I hope this helps:

"I just replaced my V7 & V8 with a FRED (neck) and Norton (Bridge) - it was all messed up because:
Ibanez -> Dimarzio
Red -> Red
Black -> Black
White -> Green
Green -> White

I compared two different wiring schematics with similar pickup selections. One used the Ibanez pickups (RGA 121H) and the other used Dimarzios (2007 RG2620E). Check it out at: http://www.ibanez.com/support/wiringdiagrams.aspx"

Ok but my Ibanez rg2 giger has a blue wire connected to the pup selector, what dimarzio wire connects to that ?


Thanks anyways guys much appreciated.

I wish Ibanez and Dimarzio would colaborate so that wire colors were the same.

Oh well
