And I've found this wiring diagram with your help, the pickup is identical other than the colour.

Thank you for the very informed response Simon, much appreciated. I hope you're well, I still haven't quite finished the MKA-1 !
Looking for a bit of help please. I've just bought a second hand Korean Epiphone Gold Top for another upgrade project which had been converted from it's original P90's to humbuckers. Neck pickup is...
Very nostalgic for me as I had an Ibanez one back in the early 80’s. I’ll watch with interest.
soldering really isn't a black art, its very easy when you follow a few basic rules. The surfaces to be joined have to be clean and bright, not such a problem on the wire but the back of pots need...
Looks great, I had an Ibanez one back in the 80's, traded for a late 60's Gibson SG standard.
You won't be disappointed with those Warman pickups.
Looking forward to this, I had an Ibanez one years ago.
I think it's probably that it wasn't quite straight enough when I did it so I'll leave it a bit longer and keep checking when I do it again. I adjusted it dead straight under tension yesterday but...
I need to invest in a longer, heavier beam as at present I only have a short 10"" aluminium one. It's also possible that the neck wasn't straight enough and I've sanded down a bit low in the centre...
Still plugging away. I've got a bit of annoying fret buzz around the 10th-13th frets despite doing a full level and a metal rule along them is seesawing a bit so some more attention required.
Just a quick update, everything is fine with the guitar, all problems sorted and I'm 99% there so will do a complete summary shortly. It's been a long learning curve but very enjoyable.
‘fraid not. I’m in London.

After a good morning doing what I think and Hope was a successful fret level, I’m now pulling my hair out in frustration!
I decide to replace the volume and tone pots as the former crackled when...
I’ve been on holiday and had a re-think. I raised the poles on the bridge pickup so high they were almost falling out so I bit the bullet and bought a pair of soapbars to give more height, Warman...
I can second that method as I did the same on my MKA-2. I soaked the veneer to make it flexible first. Then built it up in thin layers.

I love that finish.

Nearly done. Yesterday was a disaster, it sounded terrible, fret buzz everywhere and horrible muddy sound. So today I replaced the strings with regular gauge ones, temporary shimmed the nut,...
The one close to the edge? Will do, thanks for the heads up.

Getting close now. The white pick guard arrived and is excellent so I did the wiring on a cardboard template. I really couldn’t understand the supplied wire so bought a length of UK household stuff...
Thanks. I’m building an MKA-2 where everything is connected to the scratch plate. It would make future disconnecting easier, just releasing the earth ground from the bridge.

Is it possible to route all ground wires (Pickups, Input, Bridge, etc) together into one of those Lego like electrical blocks and then a single wire out the other side to the pot?

Oh yes, I couldn’t believe how hard they are to cut/chisel. The only drawback being how difficult it was to get them flush with the surrounding surface. As well as the lack of grain to match, just...
The scratchplate has been ordered and while waiting for it to arrive decided to carry out some remedial.
The crack in the headstock was longer than I thought so I glued in three barbecue stick...
I thought I’d give the scratch plate maker an easier time by adapting the original plate so all he has to do is replicate it in white. I know everything should fit when it comes back too.
Here’s...
