Please Help With Wiring Humbucker To 5-Way Switch


I have this guitar that had 3 single-coils. I dont like the way single coils sound so I took off the pickguard and cut off the single coils from the 5-way selector. I have a humbucker that I want to connect to the switch...how do I do this?

Pictures would be great but I dont really care that much I just want to get the thing working.

For Dimarzio, solder the red wire to where you took out the original wire in the switch. Solder Black & white wires together & cover it with a tape. Solder the green & bare wire to the ground (on my strat i did it on the volume pot). Seymour Duncan is the same way but the wire color codes are different. Black goes to switch, white & red solder & tape together, green & bare go to ground.
You can find the diagrams & instructions at the manufacturer's website.
