wiring dimarzios to duncs

[dc_mally]

hey, i got a guitar recently, and it came with dimarzios (nice surprice as i was expecting EMG-HZs or Dunc designed, was from a shop miles away, thats why i wasnt sure)

so i want to take the bridge dimarzio out and put my dimebucker in, i have looked at the dimarzio and duncan wiring diagrams and neither seem to match with what is wired in my guitar.

The gutiar has H-S-H 1 tone 1 vol, and a 5 way switch

i drew a diagram of the humbuckers wiring up, i forgot the single coil in the diagram but that shouldnt be important.

how do i need to wire it to get the duncan in instead of the bridge humbucker??

Thanks,
Dave.

Switch the black and red wires.

Basically:

Duncan . . . DMZ
green . . . . green
red . . . . . .white
white . . . . black
black . . . . red

mnbaseball91 and ArtieToo, your advice conflicts, the wiring i did on the diagram goes with the ArtieToo conversion, you have to keep in mind i did the white wires in blue which isnt entirely clear on the dimarzio bit.

mnbaseball91 is your advice to reverse the polarity??

artie is right with his colors...i just installed a duncan neck and dimarzio bridge in one of my guitars.

It would appear that it does.

Go with his. Switching those two fixed the problem when I was wiring up my Dimarzio using a SD diagram, but listen to the other guy since he's probably right.
