Nice guitar. GSA ano yan? :-)

I think you can split the coil.. as long as may four-conductor wiring ito. You have to unswcrew the humbucker, ang tignan kung may extrang wire na lumalabas sa pickup.
Then either magpapa-install ka ng mini toggle switch or papalitan yung tone pot mo ng isang push-pull pot.

If you don't have experience sa soldering.. it would be a good idea to bring that to a luthier.

(Someone help me out here. Di ako masyadong marunong nito!  :-D )

i stand ciorrected but i think it depends on the number of conductor wire of the p up. if it is 4 conductor then it is possible. I got that from a di marzio user manual. BTW nice guitar. anong s series yan?

GIO Pickups only have single conductor and braid wiring.

Unless you want to make it a permanent single coil, disconnect the wire connecting the 2nd coil to the 1st, then wire ground to one end of the coil, and the hot to the opposite end.
Get Wylde.

Well unless Ibanez Super 58's ang ipalit mong pickups dyan.. mas maganda siguro na aftermarket stuff na lang ang ipalit mo, like Seymour Duncan.

Pero SD/Ibz pickups yung galing sa SZ series right? Baka maganda yun. :-)
