That means you had it hardwired for parallel/out-of-phase. I'm guessing that you have stock Fender singles. This makes it a little trickier with a shielded wire. You'll either need to ground the white wire, and use the sheild for hot. (Not ideal.) Or use the shield for ground, and the white for hot, then reverse the phase, (the two wires), of the other two pups.
I can go into more detail if you need.

Hey Artie Too!
I was given this link by a fellow strat cat... tell me what you think.
In short, I'll basically solder the shield to the back of the volume pot and the hot (white wire in black cloth) to the selector switch.

Those are good directions. The only thing I'd disagree with is his label of the second method as "better". Its just different, and harder to do. Think about it - once you remove the wires from the center, there's no benefit to maintaining the integrity of the braid. (At least, that I can think of). The first way is perfectly acceptable.
