Hi, nice axe! Is it the same as the standard Ibanez HH wiring? i.e. are the selections
Neck HB
Neck Parallel
Neck and Bridge HB
Neck and Bridge Tapped
Bridge HB
?
if so then the RG1527 circuit would be right except for having a single coil sized neck pickup.

no RG1527 circuit.
RG565 has the VLX-91 5-way Switch. no a standard switch.

and i think that the selections are:

i think that may be something like this:

????

 

OK, From the above diagram, presuming the pickup wire colours are correct (the neck and bridge seem to have different codes, Bridge is Dimarzio, Neck is Dimarzio wired with the coils in the opposite order.)
Here's the updated diagram:

Woah that kid in th pic looks like he has a swirl!

 

Whatever happened to that kid? I remember watching a video clip on my local TV news back in 1988, of this same kid being picked up by a crowd of people as he played on a floral Jem, after the Monsters of Rock concert.... almost one of those child geniuses!
Edit... just found the clip (and bothered to do some research)!

 

What's the problem with the guitar? Does anything work?

 

the problem is that i removed all parts (even pickup wires of the switch) for repainting the guitar.
and also i would like change the pickups: Seymour Duncan (i think that it has different color wires) TB4 & Dimarzio Fast Track 2.

(sorry my english)

 

mixing a Duncan and a Dimarzio? Blasphemy!!

 

thank you Vim Fuego...

here, the guitar now with new paintwork and pickups:

I will try to make the circuit but it will be very difficult for me (i think that even for a luthier)

if people here have other idea or know the real wiring diagram, please you tell me it.

thanks!

saludos.

 

moderator, please, move this thread to: Pickups & wiring

thanks.

 

Ha ha! You forgot to install the volume knob!

On a serious note. You could always check out the Bumblefoot model, www.vigierguitars.com. Same pickup configuration, but sure, it's not original - but it works.

thanks, but... where is the wiring diagram??

 

my luthier made the circuit. great!

in any case, thank you for your help.

Thursday, I pick the guitar and I post more pics.

dani.

 

I wish you would stop posting pics of that thing, Dani. Trying to make me jealous again, aren't you? :lol:

Nah man, it's cool. I love it.

 

Greetings. First post here. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but wiring discussion always interests me.

My guitar is also a RG565 from 1991. I did some parts replacing, and in the process I mapped the wiring schematics, since I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, and I still can't. Hopefully this will help a lot of owners out there.

I've added some minor but very useful mods to the above schematics, which were the addition of the treble bleed capacitor (331) to the volume pot, and the addition of push-pull tone pot to tap one of the coils of the humbuckers. If you want it to be stock, simply cut off the wire that runs from the coil tap switch to the right common terminal of the OTAX side of the pickup selector. Oh, and the DiMarzios didn't come with the guitar.

 

trem... I took the guitar to a luthier and he made the wiring on it. I didin't know how to make the wiring. I didnt find any info .
in any case... thank you very much for share the wiring!!!!

thanks man!

 

thanks for the idea, but just a veeeery little mistake :
DP159 is Evolution Bridge
DP153 is PAF FRED

2 nice pickups, but which one is yours ?

 

Sorry for the really late reply. Haven't checked in for a while. Dani, you're welcome. Agent540, you're right, my mistake. I had a FRED in it. I found it to be too trebly since the guitar already has a lot of sizzle in it (like all maple fretboard equipped guitars do). Right now there's a DP165 Breed Bridge on the bridge, with 250k controls to tame the fizz even further. Before that I also tried Air Zone which was also really nice; slightly less mids and power compared to the Breed, but with more treble and even more bass. The Chopper though, stays where it has always been for the past 7 years.
