Thanks Jon - I'm chasing up the IbanezCollectors link - I hadn't realised they were just re-badged Inanez for the UK market, though I knew they came from the same factory I'd no idea they were pretty much exactly the same guitars!
New pick up rings etc. arrive tomorrow - then I'll see how it sounds without the middle.
thanks!

Post some pics (or link to some pics - the image system on that board is a bit eccentric!) and post on the "other replicas" board.
Jon.

I had already found that site - it doesn't say anything about my specific guitar sadly - though it looks a little bit like the EG1737. Still I might join up and get some advice there too
The idea with the push pull pots sounds excellent - couple of questions if I may . . .
What might I replace the middle Dimarzio with? It really is pretty hot - no serials on it so I can't tell what it is beyond the fact that it adds way too much "growl".
Can you point me at a wiring diagram for what you're talking about doing?
I'm going to do this in two stages - first is just to disconnect the Dimarzio and tidy up the pick up rings etc - at least I'll then know how the Super 70's sound . . . and then second stage do something as you suggest with push pulls, though I'd been thinking of a four way selector.
cheers again!

use the normal switching on a 3 pos switch, bridge, bridge and neck, neck, and replace one of the volumepots by a push/pull pot, with which you can switch on or off the center pickup in every position.
and when you're at it replace the other pots also with push/pull pots so you can get any pickup you wan't in or out of phase, or split them.
so no extra holes and easely to bring it back to original.

I bought this guitar second hand in the late 90's and while it's mostly in fairly good condition at some point a previous owner added a third middle humbucker. It has the original Super 70 PAF open humbuckers in the neck and bridge and a DiMarzio in the middle - this gives it more growl than suites the styles I play especially since it's been wired Bridge & Middle, Bridge & Neck and Middle and Neck on the three position selector.
I'm looking to upgrade the pick ups for a more jazzy blues tone and tidy up / replace the cracked pick up rings etc while I do it - I'd love to lose the middle pick up altogether, but since that would leave me with a gaping hole . . .
.... the Seymour Duncan "Tone Wizard" asks you to specify the wood of the body, fretboard and neck and I have no clue what these are!
Any ideas how to find out?
cheers
