If you guys don't already think of me as an idiot, this post will make sure you do...

I bought a new switch to replace the stock one on my BC Rich and uhhmmm...I don't know where to solder the wires for it to be connected. Does anybody have pics or a schematic or something to show me where to solder this thing? I miss pretending to be Kerry King...

Presumably this is a 3-way switch of the open frame variety.
Without knowing how your BCR is wired i can't be sure, but the default is this:

Any screen wire whether braid, lapped or single-strand-and-foil (as on Seymours) goes to the solder tag on the switch frame.

There are four contact tags, two for each input. The two inner ones are usually squidged together and soldered. This is then the output. The signal wires from each pickup go tp the relevant remaining tags on each side.

Only you will know the colour coding.

If you have a different type of switch the above won't mean very much.

That's extra-turbo helpful, thanks a lot man.
