Hi, being my first build - I have almost no clue when it comes to wiring.  :help:  I've searched the 'net and I can't find a wiring diagram that fits what I'm looking for,
and those are specs for a Dave Murray signature strat.

Per Fender's website:
Pickups:
Neck: Dimarzio® PAF DP-103 (F-spaced)
Middle: Vintage Style Strat® Single-Coil (mine is a Fender Texas Special mid, reverse wound, reverse polarity)
Bridge: Dimarzio® Super Distortion® DP100 (F-spaced)

Controls:
Master Volume,
Tone 1. (Neck Pickup)
Tone 2. (Middle and Bridge Pickups)

Pickup Switching: 3-Position Blade:
Position 1: Full Bridge Humbucking Pickup,
Position 2: Middle Pickup
Position 3: Full Neck Humbucking Pickup


A guy on some other forums opened his Dave Murray strat and reported that all the pots were standard Fender 250k pots.
But no clue as to capacitors, resisitors used (if any) or their values.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

As for wiring diagrams, do a hybrid of a Strat 3 way switch wiring with the middle and bridge tone wiring.

Also the middle pickup being RWRP in a 3 way switch application like this is a non-issue.  It only matters if it is being used in coordination with another normal would pickup or being paired with the complimentary coil of a split humbucker.  By itself, the RWRP middle pickup sounds no different than a normal wound normal polarity pickup.
