I finally finished choosing (thanks to your advice) all the pickups for my Ibanez RG. I chose these three in the end:
- bridge: Parallel Axis PATB-1
- middle - Parallel Axis Single Coil - PA-STK-1
- neck: Sentient
Now I have a big question: I would like to connect everything on a 5-way switch but I can't find a guide on how to connect the PA-STK-1. I expected to have only two wires (according to all Seymour Duncan schematics) but instead, I ended up with 5 wires just like other pickups.
For now I followed this pattern for the Parallel Axis at the Bridge and the Sentient at the neck. For the Middle I "decided" to follow the same color scheme as used with the first two pickups since the colors were pretty much the same: the black connected on the switch, the green and grey on the volume shield, the red and the white on the pin of the switch as in the screen.. Unfortunately, however, with the switch placed at the Bridge it seems that the pickup at the Bridge plays along with the single coil!

Do you have any idea how I can connect this pickup (I really mean the colors and how to connect them!) to make it play ONLY on position 2 (together with the neck), position 3 (alone) and position 4 (together with the Bridge)? Please, help!![Big Grin](https://forum.seymourduncan.com/core/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thank you very much!
