Help with wiring please?

[Gams]

Can anyone help me here? I'm rewiring a BC Rich Warlock for a friend. He has the origional pickup in the neck and a dimarzio in the bridge, master volume, master tone, 3-way toggle, and what I'm guessing is a DPDT switch (2-way mini-switch that has three lugs on bottom) that he wants wired as a kill switch.

I can't find any wiring diagrams out there to help.

...Help?

You need to mix 'n' match these two diagrams.

PLEASE NOTE: The Duncan four conductor colour coding is in a different order to DiMarzio. For DiMarzio, red is hot, black and white are linked and taped over, green and bare are grounded.

A mini switch with three terminals is called a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT). Wire it like one half of the DPDT illustrated in the Duncan Kill Switch schematic.

If it was me, I'd just wire the two pickups to the 3-way toggle/selector switch. I'd connect the output of that 3-way switch to the input of the volume control and the output of the volume control to the output jack of the guitar. I'd also connect the tone control to the either the output of the volume control (usually the middle terminal) or to the "hot" of the output jack. Either way would accomplish the same thing. As for the kill switch, I'd connect it between the output of the volume control and the "hot" of the output jack so when you flip the switch connection is broken and you'll get no sound. Wire it like this: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_1v_1t_3w and add the kill switch the way I described.

That's exactly what Funk said.
