Wiring help please? Anyone?

Alright, so I'm wiring an old Jackson sixer back to its original passives to get rid of it and I've hit a snag. It's in H/S/H config with a 5 way switch and I've found a load of wiring diagrams online, but unfortunately my switch is a bit different. All the wiring diagrams show switches laid out like this:

4 tags a side

But mine has all 8 tags on one side. Haven't been able to track down any diagrams yet, anyone know how they relate?

the 8-tab switch just has the two sets of 4 right in a row. sometimes the two middle tabs are the common lugs; sometimes it's #4 and #8. if you can't find little tiny numbers on the plastic next to the tabs saying which is which, check for connectivity with a voltmeter.

Ibanez uses an 8-tab switch in most of their H/S/H RGs, so you might check on ibanez.com for wiring diagrams for something like an RG570 or RG770.

Cheers for your help dude, I've borrowed a Voltmeter to try and figure out what's going on.
