Help with Charvel wiring

[SkyMonkey]

I have recently bought a 2016 Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT. It uses push/pull volume and a 3-way blade selector type that I have not seen before.
I am interested in understanding how it is wired to achieve the pickup selections:
Switching: 3-Position Blade: Position 1: Bridge Pickup, Position 2: Both Inner Coils, Position 3: Neck Pickup.
P/P up (Split Engaged) - Position 1: Bridge Outer Coil, Position 2: Both Outer Coils, Position 3: Neck Outer Coil.



At the moment I am loathed to unleash the wiring bundle shown in the picture.

Any advice on the type of selector used would be welcome.

Just going by looks I'd call it a 3-way super switch

Congrats btw, those are nice great necks.

Re: Help with Charvel wiring

I am loving my first pair of Duncans (JB & '59). The split options are very versatile with distinctive sounds in all positions. It is a thicker neck profile than my other planks, but it really feels good. I am a convert!
I have had no luck finding a wiring diagram for a 3 way super of this type. I have no experience with any super switches. There are 8 lugs per rotor on the switch, if this helps.
The guitar has 1 vol (with coil split P/P) and 1 no-load tone. Has anyone out there modded a Charvel of this type or replaced the pickups. If so did you come across a relevant diagram or make one yourself?

It looks similar to an Oak Grigsby 3 way blade switch.

I've never heard of a 3 way super switch. That doesn't mean that they don't exist, but if they did they would have at least twice as many lugs as that.

Why?

Unless we can clearly see all of the existing wiring including all of the connections and where each wire is coming from, we can't really answer your questions.

Do the people who provided the harness with that switch (which I agree, is uncommon) have any diagrams? Strange switches are always difficult, as I don't know exactly what's going on there.

That's a great pic but I don't see how that diagram gives the selections that the OP wants, plus it's not the switch that he has.
