Ibanez S570 replacing the original humbuckers

[Vegard96]

Hi!
I have an Ibanez S570b with a HSH pup system, and I want to replace the original INF humbuckers. I have bought SH-4 JB for the bridge and SH-2n jazz for the neck, and for now I'm going to keep the original mid coil.

The question is: how do i wire it? I have never done this before, therefore I need some help from someone more experienced I can't find any wiring diagrams for my guitar though. I want to wire it so that it works the same way as before.

Any help would be appreciated

Does it have the old style switching or the newer ibanez coil split switching? If its the old style use this diagram http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...c=HSH_1v_1t_5w

If its the newer style I'm sorry I dont have a diagram for it but maybe someone else around here does. But the work isnt that hard anyways. If memory serves me right the white is hot the red is the split and the bare is the ground on the INF pickups. So take a couple decent cellphone pics as a back up. and then unsolder the pickups one at a time. Then put in your new one just make sure the duncan black is your hot and the black is your ground.

Another issue that might arise is the single coil might be out of phase with the humbuckers. If it is just swap the hots and the grounds on the humbuckers.

There will be a main lead wire from the bridge and neck pickup which connect to lugs on one end of the switch, between them will be the neck pickup lead wire. These will be your standard "hot" output wires from your new pickup. Then there will be another wire from each pickup that connect to lugs on the other end of the switch, and there will be a lug between them that connects to ground. This is where you would connect the two wires for your "split coil" tones. Read the instructions with the pickups, and it will tell which is the normal hot lead, and which are the two you wire together for split tones.

I have used this website in the past and found it to be very helpful. I think this should be the schematic you need for a typical H/S/H setup with 5 way switch: http://www.guitarelectronics.com/pro...SH5L11-01.html

Then just compare that to a cheat sheet of Seymour Duncan wire colors: http://cdo.seymourduncan.com/blog/wp...ColorCodes.gif

Hope that helps!

What switch does it have? I'll get you a diagram linked asap.

Re: Ibanez S570 replacing the original humbuckers

Is this correct?

Bridge hum (duncan): red and white goes to #3 on the switch. Black goes to #8. Green and bare goes to ground.

Neck hum (duncan): red and white goes to #1 on the switch. Black goes to #6. Green and bare goes to ground.

Well, this is what i know. The guitar is made in 2012 by Cort Indonesia factory, and it is completely original. I don't know if that's saying anything to you.
