I don't think I've seen this question asked/addressed elsewhere so I wanted to try here.
I have an HSH guitar where I'd like to use a stacked pickup in the "S" slot both to have hum-cancelling when I just have that pickup selected, but also so I can "borrow" the bottom coil to cancel the hum from the split humbuckers (especially to get a nice neck single coil sound without hum).
I've seen diagrams for 5-ways that auto-split the middle to the top coil for hum-cancelling 2 and 4 notch positions, but nothing in terms of splitting the middle to the bottom coil to provide cancellation for split humbuckers.
Any thoughts or experience with this?
FWIW my focus is on a wide range of classic tones, but conceptually that shouldn't matter. Going for the usual Strat neck, LP bridge, Strat notch tones, etc sounds
