Can anyone post a schematic and picture of a non-piezo Petrucci's wiring?

I have (very amateurly) attempted to install that wiring system in my latest guitar build, and I'm currently only getting sound on the neck pickup. I've tried both the Dimarzio and Ibanez wiring scheme, so I assume I have either a defective pickup or a switch, but I'd really like to be sure.

Call MM Customer Support. They'll be able to fax/email you the wiring diag. But the "Two humbuckers with 3-way center coil split" diagram from the Dimarzio site should be the same thing.

Does it not work at all? Does either humbucker on it's own work? You could always back off and wire one pickup at a time to see if you're wiring it right.

The Air Norton at the neck works alone, but the coil split position and bridge alone are silent. I was thinking it would be the same, but since the Ibanez and Dimarzio were different, it could be worth a shot.

Well maybe try the bridge wired up on it's own to see if that works. Also, some 4PDT switches can be different. But you can test that with a multimeter to make sure it works right.
