Sorry, I missed this in my last reply.Originally Posted by Alkay
No need to apologise mate your help is greatly appreciated. It is a bit difficult to understand your new diagram without the guitar here now but I think what you are saying is I just need to add a wire on each side to get both pickups working in the middle position.
I will see if I can get him to drop the guitar back over in the next couple of days and try to fix it. I will take a picture of the wiring if he does bring it back because I want to do it correctly.
It will be helpful for me to understand this for the future because I'll probably build a seven string at some stage

Yes, you are correct. You just need one extra link wire on each side, to connect the red and green coloured terminals in the top-middle diagram to the output wire that heads off to the pots.
If you have some alligator clip test leads (or can hack something up with paperclips and wire) you can temporarily bridge the connections without soldering to make sure you have the right terminals identified. The DiMarzio diagram has the lug ordering reversed from the Fralin one, so I think one is looking from the top of the switch and one from the bottom. I tried to account for this, but testing with temporary connections is the safest approach.
