Hi Jim,
I have done this several times - the last one I did is here
it looks more complex than the simple artecsound schematic because I also added a push/pull pot to coil tap the minihumbucker and also added an onboard mini amp.
I would suggest you also check out the Seymour Duncan wiring diagrams to see which you find easiest to follow

It is far easier to do than it first appears and if I can manage it anyone can.
Regards,
David

Hi Jim,
I do this using a 3 way switch - This then gives you the option of magnetic pickup/both/piezo.
I use the wiring diagram for a telecaster from artecsound http://www.artecsound.com/wiring/wiring_book01.pdf (page 11 of the pdf) substituting the minihumbucker for the neck pickup in the diagram and the piezo for the bridge pickup in the diagram. if you do not want to use a volume or tone pot just omit these and wire directly from the 3 way switch to the jack.

Hi Jim,
I made a video previously when someone asked this same question (easier than trying to express in words).
http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/comparing-cbg-pickups
This particular CBG set up includes 2 minihumbuckers and piezos wired via a 5way switch to a preamp - for part of the video the preamp is on bypass so it still shows what sound you will get using a single humbucker/piezo/3 way switch without a preamp.

David
Hi David,,, And thank you for the info re-mixing humbuckers and piezos. I am going to give it a go on the next build.
Thanks Again
Jim

Hi Jim,
The ones I use are like the one shown in the artec sound wiring diagrams and have all the solder points to one side of the switch. Another configuration I know of is shown in the Seymour Duncan diagram and has the solder points on alternating sides.
I am guessing the one you bought is like this one?
