Hey, all. Just got my custom-wound Air Norton 7 that came in Ryan Shuck's custom Yamaha model, and I plan on throwing it into the neck of my 7621 swirl. The only problem is, I've never installed a pickup before, and there's a few abnormalities about my guitar.

First, there is no tone pot, instead there's a kill switch. Is there anything special that has to be done in the wiring when taking this into consideration? Simply put, it's going in the neck of a guitar with a kill switch for a tone knob and a 5 way selector.

Would DiMarzio's regular 4 conductor guide work? Or the Two humbucker 5 pole switch guide?
