    Default Need help to install a SH-8B pickup on an Ibanez SC620

    What's up everybody! This is my first post and I really hope I can get some help with my problem.

    I just bought a Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader bridge pickup to breathe new life into my nine year old Ibanez SC620.

    The SC620 has double humbuckers but since I exclusively use the bridge pickup only I want to install my SH-8 as the only pick-up and leave the neck pickup "un-connected".

    The SC620 has a five-way switch but I only want the first setting (to the right) to "activate" the SH-8, all other settings should result in "no sound at all".

    Is it possible to hook up the Sh-8 the way I want, and if so, how do I do it?

    As you most likely notice I know nothing about installing pickups so I really need help with this. =) I hope my description of my problem wasn't too confusing!

    I found the wiring schematics for the SC620 online, check it out here:

    Thanks in advance!

    why not to bypass the switch completely and wire it directly to the volume and tone controls?
    Guitars (from favorite to less favorite):Parker Fly Deluxe, "Frankenstrat":B.C.Rich neck+Shamray CS body, Orville by Gibson Black Beauty Reissue, Steinberger GSXSTD

    Pickups I currently own: Custom wound pickups a la Dimarzio VPAF/VHPAF with mismatched coils and Alnico2 magnets, Shadow SH-EQ5, SH-663 actives, Gibson '57 Classics and Burstbuckers

    Pickups I tried and sold: SD Hot Rails, Invader, Gibson 496R, 500T, EMG 89, 89R, Dimarzio AirNorton, Norton, ToneZone, AirZone, Parker Fly Customs.
