Strange pickup selector switch

[Dreadneck]

Hi!

I have major issues with figuring this switch out
It's from a Series 10 guitar and sadly I do not remember how it was wired before..

Anyone seen this type before? How is it supposed to be wired?

What's the control layout? From what I can see in the picture it looks like a possibility is that the grounds of the coil go on one side and the hots go on the opposite side of the opposite side.

Move the switch into different positions and note which contacts are being touched in each position.

Yes I think so to. And the middle lugg looks like it could be the output?
The layout is ssh 1v 1t.
The singlecoils has three wired btw. Red, white and bare. The humbucker has only two. Red and bare.
Any idea how to wire this up?

Its just the same as all the other 5-way switches, with the 4th lug being already common in the middle.

Have you actually looked to see the physical function, or tested with a multimeter. Those are your best bets.....you generally get an answer using that method before you've even got the computer turned on.
