Look at the list of 3-pickup diagrams and find the config that closest resembles the Charvel, shouldn't be hard. If you find that there's more tone pots than the charvel has just bypass them out of your circuit and all should be fine.

Edit: Oh just noticed they're active.. Uh I guess they might be wired the same, save for grounds and stuff, can't help u there much.

I have a Model 4 myself (actually the Model 4M- with a maple fretboard), and if your buddy's guitar has the the same Jackson pickups (the bridge being a J-50B , can be found on the sticker on the base of the pickup), then they aren't actually active pickups. They are passive pups running into a preamp. I didn't find any information out about the preamp online, and i think i ended up throwing it away, and replaced the pickups with some Seymour Duncans.

I'm pretty sure that they pickups are all passive- that humbucker of mine certainly was (and was original), but can't really help you with the config using the preamp.

The Model 4 is a great guitar
