The wiring has definitely been altered though. The pups are no longer wired into the two toggle switches. I'd like to reinstall original spec pups (Super 58s?) and reattach the toggles. Does anyone have or know where I can find a wiring diagram for the AR300/AR305 with the two toggle configuration? Thanks for any information you can provide! —Steve   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 4:55 pm:    Steve, try this one out... http://www.ibanezregister.com/images/images-artsta r/Ibanez-Artist-AR300CS-Wiring.gif AR305 has the same wiring.. fox   Erudite1 Username: Erudite1 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 4:59 pm:    Sweet! Thanks Fox.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 5:46 pm:    That's a '97 wiring diagram. The '82 pickup wires may have different colors?? mk   Erudite1 Username: Erudite1 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 5:53 pm:    That's good to know. Also, I didn't think the new Super 58's had the 4 leads? Ibanez puts those in the current reissue AR300's don't they? —Steve   Fox Username: Fox Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 6:03 pm:    Steve, it may well be, that most (or at least some) newer Super58:s have only hot + shield, at least those I've seen.. Also what Michael said about wire colours can also be true, I did not check out the diagram's date.. Otherwise it is consistent with the normal tri-sound wiring in vintage AR's and the diagram was quite neat..   Erudite1 Username: Erudite1 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 8:09 pm:    The diagram is very nicely done. Even if the lead colors differ, as Michael suggests is likely, it shouldn't be too difficult to determine the correct substitute.   Erudite1 Username: Erudite1 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 11:21 pm:    Bonus Questions: Does anyone have any idea how to actually purchase 3-hole Super 58's from ibanez? And do the currently available 3-hole Japanese 58's have the 4 conductor cables? 1980 AR100, 2004 AR300 and a 1978 GB10 serial # 36
