RG7620 help?


I have a gig tomorrow night and my RG7620's 5-way switch has died. I searched the city and was only able to get a Strat-style 5 way switch, not a megaswitch. Obviously this is not ideal but I need to get this guitar working somehow.

What I have appears to be the same as the Stewmac layout here:



Is it possible to wire this to have the same pickup settings as the RG7620? (wiring diagram here http://ibanez.com/support/wiring/W97051.gif )

If so, is anyone able to crank out a diagram for me?

And if not, is there any way to at least have Petrucci-style wiring with this switch? I don't usually use the 'both humbuckers' or 'neck humbucker in parallel' settings, so if I can at least have the neck humbucker, bridge humbucker, and combined single coil sounds, I can get through the gig while I wait for a new megaswitch.

Re: RG7620 help?


can't help other than to say yes it's possible, also check out the RGA121 wiring diagram incase it helps because they have almost the same config..

but in the meantime i'd try to simply convert it over, note out exactly what's wired up currently and which wire goes to which number..
then if yours goes 12300123 then you can simply try to swap it tab for tab with the strat's 1230/0123 and kinda work it out... it'd be an attempt anyway

Thanks! After intensive Googling (which started LONG before I posted this thread), I found this:

Seems like some very interesting combinations.
