Lug 3: Bridge + Neck (you'll need 2 wafers or whatever with this, so that they're only both on when pos 3 is selected)
Lug 4: Either kill (connect to ground) or connect to bridge again, or replicate one of the other wirings
Lug 5 (neck): Neck pickup (hot)

The simplest way on a 2 plate 5way switch would be to solder hot of bridge to 1,2,3 and hot of neck to the other wafer on 3,4,5

2) Remove the tone pot from the wiring assembly

3) Wire output from switch to volume.

It's pretty simple...

Hi 7DT would you be able to give me a circuit diagram of the setup you described? it would be greatly appreciated as i am new at wiring guitars. cheers

Yeah, usually its

2pickups one control system (one volume, one tone)=wire to switch>control system>output

2pickups two controls (either 2volumes 1tone, or 2volume 2tone, or 2volume)=wired to control system>switch>output
