Hi,

Searching back through the forums for an Esquire wiring diagram, I found what looked to be just what I was after courtesy of Shades, namely...

Problem is, I'm using an import 3-way which only has seven lugs, i.e. where there'd normally be two common lugs, there's just a single lug. Can I get this wiring solution to work with this 3-way? I'm having difficulty seeing how to separate my volume and tone completely whilst retaining the 'direct' option...or failing that, can I either (a) get the same switching options with a different wiring layout, or (b) should I just get myself a better 3-way?

Any help much appreciated!
