I want to wire my RG for two humbuckers DP151 (PAF Pro) bridge and DP156 (Humbucker From Hell) Neck.

I have a 5 way switch with 8 connections, 1 volume, 1 tone

I want my switch to have the following options:

Bridge Humbucker
Bridge Single Coil
Bridge&Neck Single Coil
Neck Single Coil
Neck Humbucker

Now, i understand that there is something called parallel and series and
that the humbucker can act as a single coil but not tapped...
I don't understand all of this mess, i just want Humbucker option as Humbucker and single coil as true single coil (splitted humbucker).

This is the closest i found from the stickies:
http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_1v__5wss

The problem is that my 5 way switch has only 8 connections and
that there is no tone knob in the diagram and also i don't know if
in this diagram single coil means true single coil and if humbucker is
what it should be (i don't understand that parallel series thing).

Long story short, i need help.
Happy Rockin' New Year!
Roi.

RG550EX, The guitar pickguard is closed right now so i don't know which
markings you are talking about. It's the factory 5 switch.

The factory setting for this guitar is HSH but i just ordered a pickguard
for only to humbuckers so i need to change all the wiring.

I went through every link in the stickies, nothing suites my needs,
which are not weird or anything, just humbucker/single or both singles, that's it.

I already checked all the stickies and i didn't find there the setup im looking for.

Edit:
I found what i needed (in the stickies), i didn't notice one of the website's archive link...
If i will have more questions i will get back to this thread.

Thanks alot guys.
