Hey SD, your wiring diagrams don't tell me what switch positions do...

Hey folks, so I have guitar with a Pegasus and Sentient, and I wanted to rewire it. Turns out, the SD wiring diagrams don't have a key to tell you what switch positions do what, in particular with 5-way super switches:

also, this :

I can figure this one out, but why not just put a key in the corner that tells us what the switch positions do? Not a big deal on an S/S/S config guitar, but with H/H there is some ambiguity.

I agree they should show what each position does.

I don't think we need those drawings labeled, because it's worse than previously thought.

For example this

...will give you
1 Bridge
2 NOTHING
3 Neck
4 Neck split
5 Neck

The rendering dropped the little jumper, you can see the dots for connections. (I 100% agree that outside of us nerds, most looking at the diagram would not include it)

OP, if you include the implied jumper, you get:
1 Bridge
2 Bridge split
3 Neck (full) & Bridge (full)
4 Neck split
5 Neck

Not sure what you mean by what would the second 'look like' - it's clear in the drawing.

But when wired up, the second drawing gives you:
1 Bridge
2 Bridge and neck
3 Neck
4 Neck split and Bridge split
5 Bridge split

sorry - i was referring to the second wiring diagram listed by the original poster - the first diagram was explained but the second diagram he listed hadn't been and i wanted to see what the 5 way positions would yield for both diagrams - wish i could tell by looking at the diagram, but just like the original poster i would appreciate the resulting switch options being included with the diagram - thanks for the info --
