Hi all. A few months ago me being a fledgling guitar player with a Telecaster decided I would build a strat out of all American parts. I went with the noiseless pickups and an s1 switch. This is where I screwed up...I also got a super switch.

I believed at the time that the super switch was required for the S1. Well now I have it all in hand I know better. I also know there are a million diagrams on line. However none match my combination. Really am not educated on wiring and from the beginning just wanted to look at a diagram and solder not learn a new vocation.

So here I am way over my head and floundering. I decided to do this on a whim because I could and now I am at the point of just ordering a normal 5-way. But before I do that I thought that maybe someone could give me a good idea on a way to wire what I have.

Thanks all,
An admitted floundering over my head noob

Hi there not sure I can help much but have you referred to the fender stringed instruments guide on the fender website under support.
The original S1 stuff around 2003/2004 used the super switch and the 2010 uses a slightly different variant.
What sort of switching were you trying to achieve.
If it was like either then the diagrams should suffice.
Andybighair and his cat on these forums is able to do an amazing job turning out diagrams for most combos but i have not seen him post in some time. I think the cat does most of the work and Andy takes the credit :D

I have dug through the fender guides but nothing really matches. I found one that I might give a go but it doesn't have noisless pickups.

I would be happy with figuring how to wire the super switch to work like the standard 5 way. Or if any body has any cool wiring ideas I am open to that as well. I am a new player and have no precluding biases towards new setups.

Are you taking vintage noiseless, SCN or N3?
i have wired in std custom shop pickups with the S1.
Your post mentions N3 What super switch model do you have.
There are wiring diagrms for the SCN and the N3 and the S1 on the fender site.

N3 pickups. And the 5 way 4 pole switch, the one that has so many possibilities my head spins.

Some of that is discussed here
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=71235
And just wire it like a normal strat.
You don't need the s1 or superswitch unless you are trying to do something fancy.

The 2004 Am Dlx (v2) used an S-1 switch, 3 wire SCN pickups and a 5 position 4 pole lever switch.

This service diagram may be of some help:

This is what it looks like in mine:
