    Hmmmmm.I'm not 100% certain (and i cant find a flippin' S1 wiring diagram anywhere!!) but this should work....

    The S1 switch is built into the volume pot. On the bottom of the pot there should be 2 extra terminals, connected to the humbucker. You need to desolder the wires connected to these 2 extra terminals (which are controlled by the S1 switch).Then change the pickups and pickguard, and wire your guitar up like this (ignoring the two extra terminals on the volume pot)...

    It should be fine.
