I suppose this is the right place to post this....
So about a half a year ago, I routed out my G&L asat to fit a humbucker in the neck (making it a bluesboy essentially..). It is a Bare Knuckle the Mule HB, and I love it. The 4 wire wiring schematic wasn't a problem at all. Then I got a Bare Knuckle piledriver for the bridge, Just two cables.. it was simple to install.. everything works great.
I want to use it at my road guitar now though, I'll keep the piledriver for recording and stuff..
So I got a Seymour Duncan Little 59. but I can not for the life of me wire this. It's a Tribute ASAT Classic (i have a USA S-500.. their tribute line plays just as good.. I love it.. If you're ever considering getting a squire strat or tele, look into G&L tribute, they play just as good as american made fenders IMO.)
I put the two wires together like it said, wired to ground to the vol pot.
And then here's where the trouble starts. It's a three way switch, but Whenever I google asat or telecaser 2 humbucker wiring, I get it with a schematic that has a switch with poles that alternate on either side. This has a COR-TEK 3 way switch (when ever i google cor-tek and the other key words, I only get schematics for a 5 position switch. It must be a weird switch not many guitars have.
I've gotten the neck and the bridge to work like it shows in this schematic (The closest schematic I could find for what i'm trying to do - its an ASAT with 2 HBs.. should work right? no. doesn't) :

But the middle position is no sound at all. The tone knob does not work either, when I wire it like that.
Here's a picture of that schematic up there as far as I know.. it follows that diagram exactly.
Here is what I had when I had it wired like that, and it gave me bridge, neck, and no middle.
I've tried like one million other ways of wiring it.. in my trials ive gotten bridge and neck and the tone to work.. but the middle position NEVER works. if it does, it's just the neck for some reason. But I think there are like 10 million possibilities if you use actual math. So I don't think i'll get it unless someone who knows what they are doing helps me.
