Hi,
The bridge pickup on my Ibanez RG570 for a few months is DiMarzio Crunch Lab, I really like its full of mids tone. Now I've got some money so I want to change my neck pup for DiMarzio Air Norton as I dig 90s John Petrucci clean tone (with that creamy delay from Awake) but I don't want to go further along with single coil as I'm not using it at all (sometimes, only in configuration neck+middle for clean sound, to "undrive" or "ungain" (?) my amp).
I know that I have to change the switch to get all positions working with HH configuration. But I'd like to have 5-way switch rather than 3-way, so the positions would look like:
1. Bridge
2. Bridge+Neck (Inner Coils)
3. Bridge+Neck
4. Neck (parallel)
5. Neck
It's the config from HH Ibanez guitars with 5-way - as I know they use the 3ps1sc5 switch so I have to find a diagram how to wire it in my RG570, with DiMarzio Bridge and Neck pickups.

Thank you for all help in advance :)

I got this diagram from Ibanez for Lita (my 2010 RG3EXFM1). It uses the same configuration you're talking about... I'm just not sure of what color wiring DiMarzio uses... but it should be fairly straightforward to translate.

Suggestion: Hook your center single coil to a push-pull switch so that it's only on and added to the mix when you have the knob pulled up. It will allow you the option of using it if the mood ever strikes you, but is never on unless you specifically want it to be.

So I found these two diagrams on official DiMarzio site, First one connected with what I have now:

And Second is what I want to have:
http://www.dimarzio.com/sites/default/files/diagrams/RG1527_DiMarzioCL.pdf

I've got 3PS1SC5 Switch, I've got Air Norton to Connect... Tell me if I'm wrong but I assume that these are right diagrams and I've just got to follow them to change the switch and pickup?​

Ok, pardon me, but I've never changed the Switch and I've only changed one PUP in all my life, so I was just curious if I'm going to do right or not :( Thank you then and wish me luck, I'm closing the thread :o
