Ok here's what I started with. DiMarzio PAF7s, which are nice pickups, but I wanted something stronger. I did not find much googling this combination of pickup and switch, so I figured I probably should post my process somewhere if someone needs this info in the future. First, you have to admire the beauty of Ibanez' wiring. It's immaculate. Mine will be not as nicely done:
A few hours of work over the course of a few weeks and here is where I landed. I'm no wiring guru and I have a lot more to learn for sure, but I'm posting this mainly for anyone else that may try this:
Here's my rough diagram of the wiring with the Ibanez 5-way. Forgive any mistakes and handwriting please:
This was my wiring assumption going from DiMarzio to Lundgren, which worked correctly for the bridge pickup, but I had to reverse the red and white wires on the neck pickup, so YMMV:
It sounds perfect, all 5 positions work without hum or noise, and the look is perfect:
