which humbuckers on an rg550

[Marcel]

Here how it was with my original PU's
Ibanez - Semour Duncan - desc.
Ibanez red = black = hot
Ibanez white = red and white soldered together = split coils
Ibanez bare = bare and green soldered together = ground

thanks alot marcel those are the same wire colors i got on my originals so i will go with it

[Chi3f]

alright i promise last question... i have seen some schematics with one humbucker flipped over, which one should i flip or should i not flip either?

[Marcel]

which wiring diagram do you mean? I think you have nothing to flip with this H-S-H setup.
The screws just go there where they were....

I think it was about a H-H setup with split coils. If you like to have the inner coils together be hum bucking than you might need to flip something

i was looking at that diagram is where i got it from but i will leave em the regular way

but now that i look at my guitar the screws for the neck position humbucker is closest to the neck and the screws on the bridge humbucker is closest to the bridge so i will do it that way

Right.
Yeah the screws are on the outer coils. But that i meant in the last post with screws go were they were my bad english. Maybe did mean this with flipped?
BTW the link doesn't work.
I think on this way the duncan logos have to be right....

it's like this:

you have to copy the link to a new window not click it cuz that site won't let you


also my setup looks identical to the first you one put up i dind't see that schematic before but i did see the second one which was why i wasn't sure cuz that one don't have the taps

[Marcel]

there is something wrong with the second wiring diagram whic i post i think coz the screws on the neck PU are one the wrong side!?

[Chi3f]

nothing was wrong with the 2nd but it wasn't set up for tap coils the first one is exactly like how the ibanez comes from the factory

[Chi3f]

i put my pups in today... the jazz sounds great i gotta play with the jb poles a lil bit but all in all it sounds great as well

[Marcel]

yeah with the JB zou have to play a little bit with pu height, polepieces etc....
how sounds the jazz in this axe? and how compared to the JB? Is it as bright and as clear as the JB. What about the bass response of bothe compared? Thanx!

In the rg 550 its better to use the original config with the 5 position switch convinig the humbuckers with te single coil or convine the 2 duncan humbuckers and leaving the single oil alone?

[jeremy]

the normal ibanez wiring is:
1-neck humbucker
2-one coil of neck humbucker and middle single coil in parallel (humcancelling)
3-middle single coil
4-one coil of bridge humbucker and middle single coil (humcancelling)
5-bridge humbucker

i used to have a rg550 and it was great for the style i played back then adn that switching pattern worked well. i like it better than the prs style wiring but with two buckers there are lots of possibilitys

[mmguz]

hows the prs wiring?
