Need 3 way blade switch schematic

[JB_From_Hell]

I need to wire up an Ibanez, 2 'buckers, 1 vol, 1 tone, 1 3 way, strat-style switch. The switch is NOT a stock Ibanez. Basically, all I need to know is where the wires go on the switch. Everything else, I can figure out.

Thanks!

There are a few different configurations of 3 way blade switches. can you descibe where the lugs are, how many lugs there are, and what directions they are facing. Just describe the switch in good detail so I can figure what type it is.

Is it one of these:

Stew-Mac switch

Ibby style switch

Stew Mac "other" switch

Pics changed to url's to save bandwidth. (Since switch was identified.)

I think that is the same style I have in my Jackson, I am going to open it up here in a bit so I can give you an idea. Thats if Artie hasent beat me to it.

Here we go,

This is with the switch installed so the lugs are pointing tword the bottom of guitar

1st lug, nothing
2and3 lug hook them together and attach bridge pickup
4and5 hook together, to hot lug volume pot
6and7 hook together and attach neck pickup
8th lug, nothing

When a wire is using 2 different lugs, solder them together or use a jumper wire.
