Every one of the contacts appear only to be going to one contact on the switch, so I would assume that that would be the case here as well. The reasoning (that I could see) is the wire being drawn BEHIND the switch in the diagram so as not to get tangled up/confusing in the diagram, and connecting to that one single point listed in the drawing (where the line ultimately stops).

Best bet: fire off an email to DiMarzio and ask them for clarification; it's good to see that you're confident in the good folks here to ask us, but unless we have a more technical "private party"/non EBMM guy that can help out on the board, don't expect EBMM to help you on something that isn't kid tested and mother approved in their specs (you understand that that's a liabilty issue on their part, and a fair stance at that, IMO)

It never hurts to go right to the source anyways....unless I'm extremely off base, I'll bet that what I said was right, but take my answer with a grain of salt (everyone usually does anyhow!) :)

Best of luck, bud! :)

That's correct. Strip the wire so you have just enough to get contact across those three lugs and NEATLY solder them in. it's not uncommon to solder leads across multiple lugs on a switch. Dimarzio always denotes their wiring schematics w/ those little grey dots to indicate where you need to solder.

Notice it's not a std 5 way switch but a Dimarzio multipole switch....make sure you're using the same switch if you're trying to wire your axe in that fashion.
