i have a tele ive been working on, routed it out for three paf humbuckers. i know, i know, but its what i want. i need some help with the wiring though. the bridge and neck are a matched generic pair. the middle is an obl mini humbucker from my old night hawk. i have a 5 position switch, i can solder no problem, but what goes where??? please help, id LOVE to plug this guy in and finally play it!

Since you say that you have an old five-way switch, I'm gonna assume that you want to wire it up like a strat, so that's what I'll explain.... I'm gonna assume single volume and tone.

Position the switch so that the spring faces away from the pickups. On the opposite side of the switch (without the spring), connect the wires as follows: front tab -- hot wire from rear pup; second tab -- hot wire from middle pup; third tab -- hot wire from front pup; rear tab -- hot lead to volume pot.

You don't need to use the other side of the switch. Volume and tone pots are wired normally.

If you want variations from this, you should see the wiring diagrams at <a href = "http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics.shtml"> Seymour Duncan's </a> site.
