HELP! Telecaster Single coil + P90 Wiring

[FdV1995]

Hello, I'm new here, and I'm having a struggle wiring a Telecaster-style guitar.

The idea/goal is a standard single coil in the neck position, and a humbucker-sized P90 in the bridge.

The single coil has (obviously) 2 wires, but the P90 has 3 (see image). I can't figure out the wiring, can someone please help?!

Any help or suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Black, red, and bare go to ground, the two whites go to the appropriate places on the three way switch (i.e., follow your standard Tele diagram).

If it sounds thing and funky when both pickups are one, they're out of phase - swap the red and white from the P-90.

Thanks so much for your reply! You said the black, red, and bare wire go to ground, I'm sorry but what do I solder them to then? I'm fairly new to guitar wiring so I'm not sure what you mean.

Again, thanks for the help and I hope I manage to get the wiring right, eventually.

Usually, the back of the pots, like the diagram shows. Make sure to also connect the bridge ground.
