    Coming back to guitars after a long hiatus, I managed to snag up a used Caparison TAT Special FM. Does anyone here happen to have one of those and could send me a pic of the original wiring (nothing anywhere inline it seems)? I am particularly looking for the neck pickup. The neck pickup had...

    Hey everyone! I am new to this forum, but it seems like a great source for all things Ibanez. Nice to meet you all : ) When I was 14 (1987) I bought myself a deadstock HOT PINK Ibanez 540S for $1000 CAD.(it was a lot of money at the time!) fast forward 8 years and I had stripped it down to...
  5. Tech: Setup, Repairs and Mods
    Hi, I gigged my Ibanez 870 Premium for the first time last night and whilst it was great i found a significant drop in volume when selecting positions 2 and 4 (It's HSH configuration). So i was wondering if there was any way of rewiring it so the humbuckers don't "split" when selecting these...
  6. Pickups & wiring
    Hi, I was wondering if someone could assist me with a wiring diagram for my HSH guitar that would allow me to switch between HH and SSS like in this image I currently have 1 Volume push pull and 1 tone push pull and a 3pdt on/on switch.

    I've been looking for this for a while and I suddenly found that I downloaded that long ago. In case if anyone needs I'll put it here, because I couldn't find any high-res image of this.

    I'm looking to upgrade one of my old guitars with a Fred in the bridge, Air Norton in the neck, and Air Norton S in the middle. I would like to have a 5 way lever switch to choose between Neck, Neck+Mid, Mid, Bridge+Mid, Bridge, while at the same time have 3 small switches, one for each pickup...

    Hey, investigating the electronics of a newly acquired UV7BK, I noticed what I believe are way too lowly rated pots. I only managed to grab a pic of the tone pot, but am I reading this correctly? 15 K? Isn't that waaay low? I assume none of this is original... I also have to change the switch (3...
  10. Pickups & wiring
    Hi, I finished the wiring of the 81/85 set. Looks good but sounds bad. When I plug the mono instrument cable in there is a very bad noise/sizzling coming but it disappears after a minute or so. Very interesting. Everything is grounded except the strings (because EMG manual says so). The...

    I bought an older Ibanez "V1" and banked it for the right project. I finally went to use it and it was no good. Of course it is way too late to contact the seller about it! So, it goes. Looking for another one, I found one on ebay with an "IBZ V1" stamp instead of the "V1" stamp like the one I...

    Hi All, I have an Ibanez RG140 Roadstar which is not making any noise. I'm looking to see if anyone has a wiring diagram for this. It's HSS, one volume with coil tap, one tone, 5-way switch, all the pickups and red and white wire with ground including the humbucker. If anyone can give me any...

    I have an acoustic guitar Yamaha FS100C, I am planning to convert it into semi acoustic with a fishman preamp. Why i want to do this is to connect it to an output i.e. to this speaker...
  14. Pickups & wiring
    Hi, The body of my RG550LTD cracked so I ordered a replacement body. I chose a back route instead of the original front route with pickguard. The route for the pickups is only 1.6cm or about 5/8 of an inch deep. It won't fit the pickups I had (V7, S1, V2). Is it a standard route depth and are...

    Hi, i have a 90's Japanese RG550 with the Quantum humbuckers(out of some S series from the same era, they are ceramic) instead of the V7/V8 that came originally. My electronics have very bad connections and are scratchy when using the volume/tone knobs, and switching pickup positions. I want to...
  16. Pickups & wiring
    I have a set of power sound humbuckers, 3 wires: white, red and bare. I want to run them but coil tap them through an on off switch and have a 3 way selector. How can I achieve this without a push/pull potentiometer??
  17. Pickups & wiring
    Hey all, I'm replacing the pots and pickup selector switch in my RG550 since they're starting to go, and I'm wondering what type of 5 way switch I can or should use? Is a standard Fender 5 way compatible with HSH wiring or do I need to buy the special Ibanez one? And will a fender switch fit on...

    Ibanez is using a new 5way switch, at least in the RG521 Genesis. I'm trying to find a good diagram to install a pair of Dimarzio (Super D and Liquifire). Dimarzio tech support wasn't even sure. Does anyone have an install done that can share the schematics? Here the original config of what...
  19. Pickups & wiring
    Hey folks, I'm currently on a quest to come up with a nice/flexible/fun way to rewire my trusty RG550. I've posted elsewhere about my questions around a specific pickup, but I thought I'd share what I've come up with so far for the whole thing and start a more general discussion. I have in my...
