The guitar in question is the one in the middle of this picture, an Ibanez RG4EX1. I recieved a dimarzio PAF pro and D-sonic in the mail yesterday, and I wired it up with an old diagram off the dimarzio website. Problem is, it wasn't correct, and now I ask you all to help me find that Ibanez wiring diagram for a seven string (H-H configuration) that uses dimarzio pickups. It's what I used when I was installing a Airnorton7 and a evo7 in my RG7321...

Thanks in advance guys!

And just in case you're wondering, here's how the wiring turned out

Position 1 (bridge)- D-sonic polepiece coil active
Position 2- No signal
Position 3- All of coils- polepiece coil of D-sonic weak
Position 4- Bar of D-sonic strong, P.P. of D-sonic weak, Left PAF pro strong, right PAF no signal
Position 5 (neck)- Bar of D-sonic strong, P.P. of D-sonic weak, left PAF pro weak, right PAF pro strong

if you are going to use 5 way switch then the position 2 and 4 wont be functional the way dimarzio diagram shows

you can also try the k7 diagram

Thanks for your answer. None of those are really what I'm looking for...

Position 1- Bridge full power
Position 2- not sure, but it involves both coils of bridge PU
Position 3- Both humbuckers
position 4- neck parallel
position 5- neck full power

That's how my RG7321 is wired up with a 5-way switch.

so why you don't use the 7321 wiring?

[arnoroth661]

dimarzio's do not have a blue wire.

That's not the diagram I used on my RG7321 either... I have to find an Ibanez with two dimarzio Humbuckers, and that diagram will work.

i am not sure what diagram you are looking for but this one is very useful actually
according to this diagram i can understand that
blue + start south coil
white - start south coil
black + start north coil
red - start south coil

notice on this ibby diagram that the shielding on pickups is inverted
and if i am not mistaken the pickup it self supposed to be placed inverted as well to create hum canceling effect

black and white are taped together and also lead to coil split
i know that diamrzio use different color code
and here is the diamrzio color code
grean + start south coil
white - finish south coil
red + start north coil
black - finish north coil
standard diamrzio humbacker wiring

Thank you so much. However, I would much rather have the elusive diagram I used to wire my RG7321... How hard could it be to find an Ibanez with two dimarzio humbuckers, I thought... Then I looked on the Ibanez website at new models and the closest thing was a JS1000. Too bad it has a three-way toggle instead of a 5-way switch. Maybe I'll just crack open my RG7321 and copy the wiring of that.

This is what you're looking for... I know it works as I've used it myself, though the pup labeled 'neck' at the bottom of the diagram is the bridge

[Ruins]

they are almost identical just that rg7520 diagram on position 4 there is just bridge single coil

any how both of this diagrams are good for your need if i understood you right, Xan.

[arnoroth661]

damn. My guitar is wired exactly like technomancer's diagram yet I'm still getting the wrong results. Perhaps this is a different switch? It is a "guitar center exclusive" after all...
