Mustang Schematic

I was wondering if anyone with the electrical skills (or even if you had one already made up) could help me out with a custom schematic for the mustang project i have in the pipes. I'm moving the volume pot to where the tone pot usually is and adding a three way in at the volume position on the control plate, just a simple neck/both/bridge job.

However, I have no idea where to start in regards to coming up with a schematic for the luthier i'm sending it to. Every schematic I could find for this sort of set up had two volumes and two tones, and as I'm electronically retarded, I don't know which wires to cut out for a single volume and no tone type deal.

wire neck pup to one side of the three way
wire bridge to the other
send output from toggle to volume
send volume to jack.

boom!

this is presuming you're doing away with the standard mustang switches of course..
as then it gets slightly more tricky..

This work for you? I just put it together. No switches, just a toggle going to a volume going to the jack.

No problem. When I do wiring I like to look at a picture, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to draw it up.

your sound won't be too bright without the tone pot?

It depends on the value of the volume pot. It will be a bit brighter without the tone pot, but shouldn't be largely brighter than if it still had the tone pot up on 10.
