I am trying to replace my bridge DiMarzio with a SD Custom Custom. I have one volume, a 3-way, and a tone knob/coil split. The current DiMarzio only has black, white and bare. the black and the bare are soldered to kind of on top of the coil split and the white is soldered to one of the tabs down below it. After I take this dimarzio out, where do I solder the black, white, red, green, and bare of my new SD??? PLEASE HELP! I love pics btw. this is the diagram i found but im still lost

somebody must know!!

Hey fuzzy; I was looking at this yesterday, and got sidetracked, when I went to DiMarzio's site to find color codes and was greeted by a message that said quot;Please wait 3 or 4 minutes for page to load.quot; . . . to which I replied . . . quot;Get a new webmaster!quot; Unbelievable.

Anyway, I don't understand how the DiMarzio can be split with only a black, white and bare wire.

What I would do, is just remove the DMZ, ignore its wiring, and just wire up your new Duncan according to the SD schematic.

Green and bare to ground.
Black to the selector switch. (3-way or 5-way)
red and white together and then to the middle of the push/pull switch.
The top lug of the push/pull switch, thats immediately above that, to ground.
(Sorta opposite of what SD shows.)

Let us know if you need more help. We'll get this worked out.

fuzzy,

The DiMarzio you have isn't coil tappable. The black and white wires are for negative and positive and are reverseable for the sake of phase (polarity) only; the bare is ground.

Do what Artie says and if you're out of phase with your other pickup(s) reverse the Duncan green and black wires.
