Wiring help! 2 hums, 3 way blade, 1 vol

[ryank]

I'm fixing the electronics on my friend's 540pii and it is pretty much impossible to tell how it used to be wired up. Can anyone help?

Both humbuckers are the DiMarzio-made IBZUSA pickups with 4 conductors. The 3 way blade has 8 leads on it.

Also, what is the middle position supposed to do? Turn both pickups on? If that's the case, I think I would rather wire it up like a JPM so it has a nice hum-cancelling single coilish sound.

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated (by at least two people!)

And does anyone know if this thing was supposed to come with a 500k or 250k volume pot? Thanks in advance!

it would be more normal to go for 500k pots in a humbucking guitar

If you had a pic of the switch then I could draw you a diagram for whatever pickup config you wanted

Best wishes

Just curious since there's no tone pot, I heard there might be even more high-end using a 500k for the volume.



Thanks!

You know what, I just helped myself.

First time Korn's ever been good for anything. lol (the split coil config is easy enough to figure out now):

And for future reference for the Internet, RG565 owners, etc...

(if the poles are 1-8 from left to right)

Neck position turns on pole 3 and the middle two

Bridge position turns on pole 6 and the middle two

The middle position turns on pole 2,7, and the middle two
