The on off on is the wrong switch unless you DO NOT want to be able to use both pickups or want to connect them in series like a danelectro
A standard 3 way Les paul type toggle will give you neck/ both/ bridge

I assume it’s a DPDT switch.

The switch should have 3 polls
Center pole goes to outer pole on out put jack.
Hot wires from pickups goes one on one of the outside pole on switch and the second on other outside pole on switch.
The grounds on the pickups go to the center pole on output jack. And do a ground wire to each bridge to the same center pole on out put jack.
Best I can do. Can't draw on here.

I assumed it was a double pickup per neck as per your previous post where you were going to use a 7 position switch.
