Ok ladies and gents.

Today, I acquired an Ibanez Jet King JTK1. I traded my Seymour Duncan TweakFuzz for it. The catch is that the volume and tone pots were disconnected and desoldered. So, I have to solder them back in. The guitar has 2 humbuckers, that run into 2 switches that split the coils, and then they go to the volume, tone and output jack. I need a wiring diagram to figure out how to do this. It's all pretty much already done except to put the volume and tone back in.

Ibanez's website doesn't have the diagram. I don't need an exact Jet King diagram, but an approximate one would be nice. Can anyone help??

I'll post pics of the guitar when I get it wired, strung and setup.

so, I decided to just wire the switch directly to the jack, no pots at all.

It worked, and it sounds cool. The pots and knobs on the guitar right now are just for show.

I'm setting it up now, and when i'm done...pics!

I found this site a while back when digging around for guitar wiring diagrams on the web. It's got a lot of diagrams so there's a good chance it will have what you need.

You might find what you need here if you wish to put things back as they were new sometime.
