Wiring in a new 5-way (Help ASAP, please)

Hey there.

My RG570 has the stock V1,S1,V2 setup. The 5-way needs to be replaced, and I have a Fender standard 5-way ready to go in.

My problem is how to wire it up. I went to Seymour Duncan's website and found a wiring diagram for what I want to do. The only trouble is that it uses pickups with 4-conductors. My saving grace is that it doesn't appear to actually be using the extra conductor.

Can someone scope this out and tell me what needs to be changed? Each of the stock pickups in my RG570 has a red, white, and ground wire. Thanks.

So, with my red, white, and ground cables coming out of each pickup... the red is hot, so each red would go on the left side of the switch. I'm not sure what to do with the white cables if the ground cables are what I ground to the pot shell.

Basically:

Mine / Theirs
Red = White
White = ?
Ground = Black?
