PRS Custom 22 / McCarty Wiring

Anyone have a newer Custom 22 or McCarty with the 3-way switch and push/pull tone pot? If so, please post a photo of the control cavity. I'd like to convert my 5-way rotary to a 3-way w/ push/pull tone pot and want to replicate the wiring *exactly*. Thanks.

not sure if you needed the photo to trace, or if you were just looking for a wiring diagram....I think this is the one here.

Thanks fatcat, have the schematic, just wanted to copy the exact wire colors, shielding, etc. so it doesn't look and/or work like a hack job.

Apparently there is a very slight difference between the standard McCarty wiring and the Custom 22 conversion from 5-way to 3-way, something about the polarity of one of the pickups. Shouldn't take a whole lot of brains to figure it out though.
