Yep. The 6-string humbucker is wired thusly: red and white twisted together, connected to grounded terminal #2. Black wire to hot terminal #1, then jumped to #2. Green and silver to ground.
Mayfly said:Hmmm yea that should work. If you have a DMM you can check the operation of the switch in the various positions to ensure you've got connectivity when you expect it.

Really? I'm pretty sure they used plastic boxed switches that melt if you hold the iron on the tag too long :dontknow:swarfrat said:That looks like what I remember from my 90's Ibanez RG.
