SD Blackout AHB-1 Into RG2570 Prestige (08 model)

[rgChris]

Anyone happen to have put blackouts into the two hum bucking positions on a RG2570? I've tried to figure out how it would be wired from a 3 position switch, but the 5 way is throwing me off. If it matters or makes any proposed help any easier, the middle single being functional or not is not a big deal, if its possible - great, if not, I don't care much.

Any guidance or diagrams appreciated!

I think you cant split actives and also you cantīt co bine passives with actives

unless the pickups are active/passive but technically they aren't really combining they are either all active or all passive.
I didn't know you could split them but I don't work with actives on anything other than Bass

Yea, I don't really care if the middle works at all, I didn't buy the guitar for the single in the middle at all. I think I have this nailed if I can figure out how the 5 way works in this guitar.

is the style of the switch, not 2 sided or anything crazy. I only need 3 options, Bridge, Neck, Both.

I'm doing some googling and can't come up with anything specifically for this particular 5 way, but If I trial and error the conductors on the switch and wire it otherwise like a 3 way blade I think it should fly.


***Edit***

Stalled on the stock ibanez stereo connector being difficult to figure out what lead was tip/ring/gnd, so decided to mount them and bring it to the shop. *Warning* for anyone else considering these, you have to grind/shave the corners of the mounting tips down on the ends of the PU - to the point of them being weak. (They won't fit in the routing otherwise. I managed to snap one off when I was adjusting height. To make matters worse, it looks like the bridge PU is probably going to sit too high with it bottomed out - its close enough that its hard to tell even test fitting a string. It looks like there might have to be some minor deepening of the bridge pickup hole. Long story short, wiring headaches aside, if you're doing this be prepared to do a little more than pop em in and wire em up.

It's going to the shop tomorrow, thanks for your input regardless though guys.
