It's the 8-in-a-row switch and I can't find any schems for the solder points with this particular switching mechanism. The Seymour-Duncan diagram I used was followed, but the switch itself does not match the diagram, as SD modeled an American 5-way with the appropriate in and out stages. I'm trying to set up an HSH super strat.

Anyone know wtf they're doing and can help me out?
 
If you have a DMM you can do a continuity test to find out which connections go where when the switch is in each position. Its a PITA, but it will do the job.
 
This help?

I recently did and ibanez style one with one volume/one tone. This is with actives btw but the switch diagram may help you.

Thanks you so much! Don't tell me you googled those pics, did you? I'm going to smack myself right in the searchbar if you did.
