Re: Wiring a 3 way toggle for Neck+Bridge series
Alright I figure I'm the one asking for help, I should be the one to do the ow work I made this diagram to show how I THINK a 3way with B+N in series would work, with the down position of the switch to give me the bridge alone in parallel and I could use position 1 on the 5 way, and down on the 3 way to use B+N in parallel, Does this look right? any advice/help would be greatly appreciated Please Thanks
god my neighbors must hate me

Re: Wiring a 3 way toggle for Neck+Bridge series
I am afraid this doesn't work.
In the middle position, you are combining together bridge negative with neck positive and, the output will be bridge's positive, when your 5-way is in bridge or bridge-middle positions. That's probably ok for what you wanted.
BUT
On one side, you are just linking bridge's negative to the input of the tone pot. What makes no sense. Your bridge pickup will be off, all the time.
On the other side, switch does nothing. Same issue, your bridge pickup is off.
I would use a DPDT toggle switch for this and, probably the second serializer here:

Just imagine that each coil is one pickup. The white coil is your neck and the black coil is your bridge.
Run hot1 to neck's tab in your 5-way.
Run hot2 to bridge's tab in your 5-way.My blog: http://hermeticoguitar.blogspot.com
