Need wiring diagram for Seth Lover Neck and Vintage Stack Tele Bridge (5-way switch)

I couldn't quite find what I was looking for on the wiring page. I am building a Telecaster with a Seth Lover Humbucker in the neck and a Vintage stack in the Bridge. My control plate has a 5-way selector and a 1 vol & 1 tone pot (no coil splitting knobs). I am unsure how to wire these guys together. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

the seth is two conductor so you cant do fancy wiring with it unless you open it up and make it 4 cond. what would you like to do with the 5 way?

if it were me, id probably just use a three way like a normal tele unless you wanted to split the stack

I just happen to have a pre-wired control plate that has a 5-way switch. I am not trying to do anything special with the wiring. I am not familiar with the humbucking wiring. My only other guitar is a strat with all single coils. I will look into getting a traditional 3-way switch. I assume this would be 1.) Bridge only, 2.) Bridge & Neck, 3.) Neck only positions for wiring.

Thanks.

correct. you could wire the 5way switch like that as well but youd have a redundant position and one with no sound.

1-neck
2-neck & bridge
3-bridge
4-bridge
5-nothing

i believe you could wire the 5way to be

1-split stack
2-split stack & neck
3-neck
4-neck & stack
5-stack

It might be easier to just pick up a 3 way switch here, as you have faster access to the sounds. A 3 way switch is usually pretty inexpensive, and will make things a little less confusing.

Agreed. Besides, I've personally found that splitting a stacked pup gives very little in terms of tonal variation... to the point of being almost unnoticeable.
