This stupid little thing defies all logic and standard wiring I've seen. I have an idea on how it hooks up, but I honestly don't want to screw it up. BTW it's a standard stratocaster 5 way switch, going to be wired up standard.

Download a schematic from the Fender website...
Draw a diagram of your old one and then copy that.
If you want to know what each post on the new switch is for, test it with a multimeter and compare it to a diagram of a CRL or Oak Grigsby switch.
Does the package have a web address for manufacturer on it? They probably have a wiring diagram on their site somewhere.
Well thanks guys. I used the old jumper wire trick and tapping on the pickups. haha
Pickups go in the 3 right prongs, the output is the middle one, and ground is just on the casing of the switch like most. Just in case you ever need to wire one up.
I must say, it's sturdy, and it feels very solid unlike the old switch. The hardware was cheap, what do you expect? :)
