Hi all, I have a set neck CE made showmaster goldtop with 5 way switching and dimarzio pickups.
I am trying to rewire a new 5 way switch, but the Fender online schematics are incorrect. Does anyone have one of these and could advise on the color codes at the 5 way switch? Thanks to all, really appreicate the effort!

Yeah ya got me there lol, I didn't state that. It is hum hum. The way I think it was wired is as per the Fender site diagram for the showmaster HH 2005, with the neck coil parallel, in the 4th and with the inner coils on both in the 2nd, and first is all the way down into bridge only hum. The site appears to be refrencing the seymours, and I could not fin the Dimarzio's. I think it is due to the fact that those are for domestic mfg, this is Korean, etc.Thanks for any help you all can provide.

If the original pickups were Duncans, you can work off of that diagram. Here is the DiMarzio wire color code equivalent:

The green wire of the Duncan is the green wire of the DiMarzio.

The black wire of the Duncan is the red wire of the DiMarzio.

The white wire of the Duncan is the black wire of the DiMarzio.

The red wire of the Duncan is the white wire of the DiMarzio.

Sorry, I meant that the originals are dimarzio, but the Fender site shows only Dunc's. There is another poster in this forum that has some pics, same one, goldtop korean. I am certain it's the same model, etc. But in any event, the duncan schem. does not equate. Strange 8 pole 5 way switch, not a typical strat style. Any help out there is really appreciated!
