5-way switch wiring help needed
I'm building a "stealth" Esquire with a 5-way switch and vol & tone knobs have pull switches I'm not certain which wiring diagram to use. My bridge pickup is a BG1400/Pearly Gates, 2 pickups under the guard are strat single coil type. I'd like for the bridge to be tapped. Any help anyone could give is much appreciated. Thanks.

What do you want the 5 positions of the switch to be?
What do you want the push-pull switches to do?

Well, I've got a wiring diagram for it but it's for a typical 2-wire bridge...I'm not sure where to solder the other 2 wires of the bridge pickup. Should I scan a copy of the wiring diagram that came with the control plate?

Once I know how you want it to switch, I can tell you how to wire up the bridge pickup.
You said you have 2 push-pull pots. I'm assuming that you want one of them to split the bridge humbucker. What do you want the other one to do? Is your 5-way switch a standard Strat 5-way that you want to wire for standard Strat switching?

Yeah, I want to be able to split the bridge and then just have the others like a typical strat setup I guess. I bought it originally to use in a Nashville tele setup. Then I was going to do just an Esquire with a no load tone pot to do a "spin-a-split" setup with it. Then I thought I'd just do a stealth Esquire.
I definitely want to be able to split the bridge coils. What would my options be with the other push/pull pot?

Here's a diagram of an HSS Strat with 1 volume, 1 tone & a push-pull to split the bridge pickup:
