someone in here that can translate the ibz v7 and v8 wiring color code to SD color code. I have stared for hours on the wires in my guitar and on the diagrams found on the net and I don't get it.

I'm replacing the stock (v7 and v8) in my ibanez rga121 to a FS-combo and the v8 has only 3 wires (red, white and ground) and the sh-10b has four (of course) The switch is a 5way 2502W.

I found this

(thanx Artie)

and it is very similar but not exact. Maybe this wiring is what I'm looking for after all?! only different wire patch?

I want the "original" wiring. from neck to bridge: 5)full HBn , 4)parallel HBn , 3)HBn & HBb , 2)Split inner n & b , 1)full HBb. and the switch is the same as in the link.

The reason is if I get the v7-v8 vs SD color code the exchange will be an easy task!

If any help, I've attached file. this is what my stock v7-v8 wiring looks like (bad pic)

iirc, the black from the full shreds should go where the red of the v#s go, the green and bare wires go to ground, and the red and white wires should be twisted, soldered, and taped to avoid touching anything and shorting out.

edit: sorry, the red/white should go to the white spot i think rather than be taped off. if that doesn't work, switch the black wires' places with the red/white wires' places

edit edit: just looked at the picture links. if you want neck parallel, then the diagram from artie should work. but if you want the inner coils, do what i said.
