Hamer Artist 3 pickup wiring question

I have a Korina Hamer Artist 3 P90 guitar that I love. It has a 5-way switch that allows stratlike pickup combinations. I would really like to get it wired in such a way that I could combine the neck and bridge position. How can I achieve this? I wouldn't mind losing the middle-bridge notch position in favor of the neck-bridge. Does anyone have a schematic I could see?

Cool Guitar I don't have a schematic but I have mine wired as Vol (neck and bridge) Master tone and vol middle pickup. with the three way toggle you can get every combination available. Just have a repair person replace the five way selector with a three way toggle switch and do the wiring as described above. Good luck BTW that is my Hamer Standard. Great guitars.

Easy! Just swap the middle and neck leads at the switch. Of course your switch positions will now be different for p/up selections but when you get the hang of it your there. Otherwise, you will need a dedicated control knob or mini-switch to do the job.
