This is a familiar sight by now, a push-pull coil split switch. There wasn't any in this guitar unlike the current generation of Horizons where a push-push switch is quite the norm. Note the binding there, it's a faux-type, meaning- this part of the ash wasn't stained blue to make it look like there's binding there. The black stains are the ash's inherent stripes.
The default 5-way switch is a Schaller unit which I've done away with. I prefer a 3-way option for a twin humbucker guitar with a push-pull coil split option.
The humbuckers in there now are the Distortion model for both bridge & neck. The pickup selector position is also not at the usual slot, it's nearer to the bridge, just behind the volume knob.

Subversion.sg,
can you give details on said ESP Horizon, esp. on the Schaller switch or the wiring diagram?
Thanks,

My friend :-) I don't have the original wiring to show, it's all been replaced...
My brother ;-) would you remember the stock PU-switch combination?
Like 1 = neck HB serial, 2 = neck split parallel, 3 = both HB, 4 = ... 5 = ...
My guitar has been re-wired, cross-soldered and I want it back to the original state.
Thanks,
-Alois
