Sabu2k1 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I got this ibanez from a friend, and the pickups were torn out ,all wiring ripped, does anyone know how to wire it for only 1 humbucker and 1 volume? (no switches or tone) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/ZOMB13/wiwring13.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/ZOMB13/wiwring12.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/ZOMB13/wiwring11.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/ZOMB13/wiwring1.jpg As you can see from the pics. the humbucker has 4 cables (1 white, 2 black soldered together, 1 white) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodBlessTexas Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 What kind of pickup is that? I don't think it's an Ibanez, as they use 3 wire humbuckers, as you can tell by the red plastic covered set of wires that's still attached to the pots in your pictures. Furthermore, I don't know anyone that uses only white and black wires on a four wire pickup. It does't mean that someone doesn't, but usually on a four whire pickup you have four seperate colors. Ibanez uses red and white for both positive sides of the coils, and black or bare wire for ground. As for just one humbucker and a volume pot, that's easy. Here you go.

Sabu2k1 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks for the reply, I have that diagram too. Im having trouble wiring the red plastic set of wires to the pick up, I had previously wired the red cable to the white one, white one to the white one, and the bare to the black, but all I got was static when I plugged it in. The pickups came with the guitar, so they are cheapo Ibanez's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
