I have a Ibanez grx70qa it has a humbucker single coil a humbucker 1 volume 1 tone and a 5 way switch. I wanted to upgrade the pickups to give it a better sound so I put a seymore Duncan jb trembucker in the bridge and a seymore Duncan jazz pickup in the neck. The wiring diagram I got off of there website and it confused me on how to wire them up. I wired them up the way the pickups that were in it were wired up. I want to make sure there wired up rite. What is your suggestions on wiring them in parallel ? The pictures are of the 5 way switch I have the wiring diagram and the way the original pickups were wired up and the way I wired up the new ones. I bought the neck pick up first and installed it about 2 weeks before I bought the bridge pickup and the guitar sounded pretty good after that but when I put the new bridge pickup In it sounds better but not as good as I thought.
Ok guys I need some help

I don't know the connections of the Ibanez switch off the top of my head, but it's different from the CRL 5-way on the diagram from SD.
On Duncan pickups, black wire is hot. Red and white are for splitting the coils. Green and bare are ground. Colors will not match either DiMarzio or Ibanez pickups.

I wouldn't feel comfortable making a diagram unless I had one of those switches in my hand, and could meter it out. The GRX70QA diagram shows it splitting the humbuckers in positions #2 & #4, but there's only one terminal labeled "Tap."
And I don't really want to drop $30 on a switch, just to find out, that I'd personally never use.

Yeah. I saw that, but the OP's guitar is HSH. I'm trying to decipher how that would work.
