The guitar does not work at this time & I was wondering if anyone has a link to a wiring diagram for this ? Thanks ed Ebay Item #200139996393   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 - 7:30 am:    Here, use the Stock Gibson style wiring, different capacitors are possible (Ibanez uses .0223 microfarad), but that's not the problem now. I don't expect that both pickups are broken, but of course it is theoretically possible. I expect that the problem is EITHER in the WIRES, the SWITCH or in the JACK OUTPUT So first you measure the individual pickups. They should measure roughly between 7 and 9 kOhms each. If they're good the solution won't be that expensive. Then look if you see any disconnected wires or breaks in the wires. You could measure the current or the resistance from soldering point to soldering point: current should always be present, resistance should be as close to ZERO as possible. IF you replace the jack output, buy SWITCHCRAFT. IF you replace the selector switch, buy SWITCHCRAFT. Mike a.k.a. Ratfinks3 somewhere wrote what type of switch he ordered. I'd have to look that up.

Choose a Les Paul HB/HB with two vol and two tone. -Chuck   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 12:22 pm:    IBANEZ super 58 uses red black, blue white, I HAVE SEEN NO DIAGRAM FOR STOCK HUMBUCKING MODE IE, NO COIL TAP ETC, SO WHERE DOES THESE WIRES GO, MY PROJECT ON MAJOR HOLDING PATTERN, THANKS, JAZZZ   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 4:37 pm:    Are you sure one wire is white. Every Super 58 diagram on the net say red, black, blue, YELLOW. e.g. http://www.ibanez.com/support/wiringdiagrams.aspx If the wire which you say is white, is yellow, wiring goes: Solder black and blue wires together. Connect the red wire to volume pot (hot wire, see how bridge pup is connected to volume pot on ibanez.com's diagram). Ground the yellow wire and the shield. You can check your pup by measuring the resistance between blue and yellow(white?) wires and then between red and black wires. (These should give around 4 Kohms, exact numbers are not important if you get some kOhms from both but write them down.) Then connect black and blue together and measure between yellow and red and now you should get sum of the previous two numbers. In this case the wiring given above is right.

Have you tried it? Anyway the wiring I gave in previous post or this should work. If neither of them works there is something else wrong with your circuit/electronics.
