Hey everyone! I've started a telecaster project and need a little help wiring. I need to wire some hot rails style pickups to a pre-wired control plate. I have a diagram fro seymour duncan but I don't quite get how to read it. The lugs on my switch are all on the same side, and the lugs on the diagram are spread out on two different sides. Am I just reading it incorrectly?

Here are some pictures of everthing. http://imgur.com/9Ms40,sMozI,CfwAI#0

It's all about finding out which lug is connected to the output lug in each position of the switch. To be honest, I would get a new switch. The oaks grigsby is a good one. And you can get a 3, 4, or 5 way.

Do you want to use the pickups' 4 wires for different sound options or just as full humbuckers?
