I can't find a diagram that shows how to wire a "MINI-on/on/on" switch as the 3-position pickup selector for a Telecaster - Both (2) neck & bridge pickups are stacked Duncan (4-conductor) single coils. I just want to replace the standard 3-way toggle with a mini-on/on/on switch - how do you wire this mini switch???

I also want to have 1-volume and 1-tone (the tone being a push pull pot so I can coil tap the outer coils of these single-coil sized humbuckers). I think it's very similar to the PRS McCarty wiring, as this is exactly what it does, but I just can't figure out how to wire the mini-on/on/on to work as the 3-way.
Any help would be appreciated as Duncan says they don't have a schematic for this?? I didn't think it was that strange???

Thanks so much for any help.

Yes, or just a regular PRS McCarty wiring diagram... I wish that they had one here.

The wiring of the switch itself is pretty easy in this configuration:

Neck hot to the top two terminals, bridge hot to the bottom two, and output from the middle two.

Volume and tone controls connect to the output as normal.
