You need a superswitch. They sell them at stewmac.

There's a megaswitch form the german manufatcor "Eyb", which are especially build for this setup!

http://www.eyb-guitars.de/english/frameintro.htm

Look under "Megaswitch"

It doesn't have 4 "boards" like other superswitches, it only has one with 7 or 8 terminals.
You can use it for 2 Humbuckers, or for 3 Single's (In the middle Position you have neck & bidge PU, not the middle PU)

You know, this wiring would be real simple with a 3-way lever switch and one push/pull pot. You may want to consider going that route.

The eyb megaswitch is not much more expensive than a push-pull-pot.
Once, i replaced the push-pull-pot with this switch.

It's not that i dont wanna spend a few bucks and buy the mega switch its just that I will have to order the mega switch off the internet, which isnt that big of a deal either its just that i'll be ready to set this guitar up in a few days and i can wait around for a mega switch to arrive later.

I got one option that you can use now if you don't mind both pups being split in the middle (#3 position); other wise you'll have to order a switch from Fender, it's a 2 pole 5 throw lever switch ... But the throws are independent like the super switches, and is probably cheaper than the mega switches(in their case,* if *you get the right type ... they are made by Schaller, and I don't think the E-type switch would do what you need. I have seen referrence to a E+-type switch .... but I believe that to be a misprint/typo.) Hold tight, I'll doodle.

Okay, here's the first ... and I used Fender's artwork ... so they can sue me ... (don't even think about it ... )

Re: I need (complicated) wiring help.

And here is the second one, with the Fender switch that you'll have to order ...
