ibanez 5way + 2 SD humbuckers?

[fergus]

So I have a SD '59 and a custom and am wanting to wire them into my rg470 (originally HSH, soon to be HH)

I see one ibanez stock HH + 5way wiring is:
neck
neck parallel
neck and bridge
inner coils
bridge
which seems simple and versatile.

as here:


I found this schematic which is the same as above but with SD colour coding:

but i read there is more than one ibanez 5ways and they function differently so i checked and I'm unsure whether those schem's are for my switch.


my switch terminals:
1(neck end)
2
3
4
5
6
7
8 (bridge)



How my switch works:
[

switch position. connections made
1 (neck pos.).......3+4,.........5+8
2.......................2+3+4,....5+7+8
3.......................2+4,.........5+7
4.......................1+2+4,.....5+6+7
5 (bridge pos.).....1+4,.........5+6

so the SD schem. with my switch in pos 4 would give: bridge black, neck red, vol pot, (and via the jumper) bridge red+white, neck green and earth are all connected.

won't the fact the earth is connected make this pos. silent?

This is the Ibanez 3PS1SC5 5-way lever switch used in their HH guitars.

thanks Chris.

I had the wrong switch, the best i could work out with the switch i had was:
Neck HB
neck split
neck split
neck split+bridge HB
bridge HB

I was about to wire it up as above and went to my parts box for a tone cap and found an ibanez switch i forgot i had, i tested it against your link, and sure enough it was a 3PS1SC5! ;D

its wired up and working fine

Well, luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
