The guitar has push/pull pots. If you look at the wiring, you may be able to determine which wires are connected when the push/pull pot is in humbucker mode. This should answer your question. ICW member Careycorson how has this guitar. If you need, he may be able to send you more pictures. mk   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 - 8:48 pm:    btw...how old is this Super 58? mk   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 - 9:00 pm:    Jazz: Go to this link and check out the 1995 AS200. The wires are red/black/blue/yellow. Your pickup wires may be the same except yellow = white. http://ibanez.com/support/wiringdiagrams.aspx The 4-wire Super 58 is wired to a tri-sound with HB (parallel), single coil and HB (series). Once again, if you know how to read a wiring diagram, you should be able to determine which wires are connected for series or parallel HB, whichever you prefer. mk   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 - 11:55 pm:    Michael, thanks for the info, i will check into the links etc, this pick up, is a wax potted super 58 . with some stamps on the bottom, sp 58 and f, so im guessing its not vintage, but id like to get it up and running and go from there, thanks again, jazzzz   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 12:18 am:    well, i looked at those links, i think i need to know exactly where the wires go for my particular situation ie, 2 humbuckers wired like les paul, i cant seem to find info for the blue red, white black wiring. hopefully someone will pop in with the info, thanks much, jazzz   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 3:57 am:    "Guitar Electronics for Musicians" book: 'DiMarzio 4-conductor pickup: The color code of the 4 wire pickup is as follows: red, black, green and white. (Black and red for one coil and white and green for the other) The simplest way to wire the pickup is for the standart, series humbucking sound. This can be done by first soldering the black and white wires together. The solder connection should be covered with tape, so the connection does not touch any other part of the circuit. The red wire is then soldered to the hot connection of the guitars circuit. ... The green wire is soldered to ground ...' Would this help? The hot connection in your case is volume pot's hot input, see LP diagram.

If I read ibanez.com's (AS200 Super 58 4w) and the book's diagrams right, they are: DiMarzio - Super 58 red - red black - black white - blue green - yellow Juha   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, August 31, 2007 - 5:44 pm:    hi, my wires are red black white blue. so ill relay this info to my pal thats working on it, thanks eveyrone., jazzz
