Hi, friends
I just want to ask about wiring.
The photo attached in this link :
https://www.linkpicture.com/view.php?img=LPic62848c0038e5f826368827is from Dimarzio's website and the model is Ibanez SA32 FM.
That guitar has Ibanez duo switch and duo-bucker Pickup and I think they may have 10 different tones out from that guitar.(please correct me if I am wrong).
Now, my question is, can we do the same wiring scheme using a regular push-pull and also regular such as Dimarzio's or Seymour Duncan Pickups?
I am asking this because I think I need the split-coil mode but I want to retain the usual 5-way switch combination (especially the parallel neck combination).
Thanks.

It will work with any manufacturer's pickups with 4-conductor wiring, but the colour coding may (will!) be different because they can't agree on a common standard...

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
There are 10 sounds on my Ibanez AZ2402, as shown on the Ibanez website (link below)

Some USA Fenders had a hybrid switch. Conventional eight terminal wafer handling the traditional five selections. Oak Grigsby style twelve contact wafer sorting out the smartarse series/parallel combinations. S-1 switch flipping between modes … until it failed.
For me, the real question is, why would you want that particular circuit? Are you hoping to maximise your options or just get the best combinations that HH can offer?
My anecdotal experience of playing Ibanez and similar shred stick guitars is that the most useful five coil permutations are;
Neck HB coils in series
Neck HB coils in parallel
Both HBs
Inside coils in parallel
Bridge HB coils in series.
To this, you could usefully add a partial coil split to the bridge HB. Unfortunately, to preserve the other sounds, the connection to the mode switch would occupy one pole of a four-pole selector switch. It would have to be the screw coil that is partially split.
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
for my sanity then... what does the "ochre" represent? in particularly the neck #5 position?

There is nothing in the circuit to change the behaviour of the neck position humbucker. Thus, the third colour signifies nothing whatsoever.
