SH-4, SH-2 combo issue

[fatpindley]

This sounds kinda stupid but I wired up my Ibanez with two seymour duncan pickups. The stock ibanez pickup's wiring colors were the same as the seymours so I just did a straight swap with the solders. Now I get a nasty buzz when guitar is plugged in even at clean volumes. Is this wrong? I couldnt find wirering schematics for 2 humbuckers 1 volume 1 tone 5 way switch. Please any help with be appreciated.

The color codes are probably different. Normally, you wouldn't use a 5-way with twin 'buckers unless you were going to split them. Try this schematic:

Okay so I am looking at this schematic and I relize that the green and bare wire are being grounded, I grounded the white and bare wire when I installed them. That is wrong right?

Grounded the white? THen I'm guessing you only have 1 coil working there unless you shorted the Black to the red or green wire....anyway, just fix it according to the Duncan schems, no other rational course open at this point IMHO.
