I recently had a tech install a new pup in my SG. Well, now I want to put the stock Pickup that was in the SG in my Ibanez RG570. This guitar doesn't mean much to me, so I'm gonna wire in the pup myself.

Here's the problem I ran into.....
The original Ibanez pup has 2 wires and a metal shield around them. The pup that came out of the SG has only 1 wire and the metal shield. I got the wiring schematics for the Ibanez from their site, and it's showing how to connect it with the 2 wires. Can I even install the Gibson pup in the Ibanez? If so, advice is welcome...

I'm not determined to get this pup in the Ibanez, it's more or less experimenting...

Thanks...
