Hi, I've gotten an SHR-1 Hot Rails pickup second-hand and it doesn't have any documentation with it. I searched SeymourDuncan.com for about an hour and couldn't find a simple wiring diagram telling me what wires do what and go where. There seem to be a lot of diagrams telling me how to wire generic SD pickups into every guitar ever made, but I may want to do something weird/special with this pickup and I just want to know what the wires do, I'll figure out the rest.
I see 5 wires: Red, White, Black, Green, and bare.
I am installing it in a 1998 Ibanez RG470 (yes I know not the right guitar for it, but I am experimenting, it's a second guitar), and the humbucker wire has three conductors (red, white, and bare), and the single-coil middle position has one black and one white. I may put it in the middle position in which case I'll need to only use one of the rails and of course I've gotta find the right two wires to connect. Like I said I'm experimenting, no flames please, I know this pickup ordinarily goes into a strat-style pickup, but it was free and I've got a project guitar I like to play with.
Thanks for any help, and shame on you Seymour Duncan! This would be a simple thing to have on your website!
