It's been a hot minute since I've posted on here, and I hope all is well. I know this is the SD forums, but I thought I'd seek some help here if possible. I'm not really fluent with PRS pickup wiring, so here is my scenario:

I recently removed the 5 way rotary switch from my 2009 PRS custom 24 and I installed a switchcraft 3 way switch. The problem I'm running into, is how I should be wiring up to the 3 wy switch. The pickups in the guitar are the PRS HFS/VB set. I have a braided ground, a red, white, & black wire coming from each pickup, a red wire coming off the hot lug on the volume pot, and a black ground wire coming off the tone pot. Can any of you fellas tell me which wires go where please?
 
If you've removed a 5-way and only have a standard 3-way toggle, then all grounds go to ground, the coil series link gets taped off, and the hot goes to the appropriate lug on the switch.
