Cool, thanks man. I just printed out the schematics from the Gibson site.

NOW, the SG I have is the SG Gothic, which according to the Gibson site (under discontinued models), the stock pups are 490's. The schematics I printed off show that the 490's have Four Conductor wiring......while the pup that was removed is not a 4 conductor. :confused:

I'm just gonna try what you said, the shield to volume and the lead to the switch. I may just bypass the switch since I don't use the neck or middle pup's on the Ibanez anyway.......

I'm determined to get it right, so I'll be wiring away this weekend until I find something that works...

Thanks Ninja..I'll let you know what happens.......which may end up being that I throw the Ibanez across my back yard.
