super switch wiring: is this right?

Re: super switch wiring: is this right?

Position 3 is like a stock LP - the individual coils of each pickup are in series, but the two pickups are combined in parallel.

BTW I asked about the master volume/master tone controls because I thought that there would be a problem with individual volume & tone controls the way you did the split. However, it looks like you could do it either way.

The way you did the coil split is good - the "dead" coil is completely out of the circuit. Never saw it done that way, but it should work fine.

There is a slightly different approach that you could use if you want to have a master volume, but 2 tone controls (say, one for positions 1 & 2 and another for positions 4, 5 & 6). PM me if you're interested.

It's late, but it looks ok to my bleery eyes. Seems like a clean, usable layout to me.

For position 3, you want the screw & slug coils of each pickup in series but the pickups in parallel with each other, right?

This is nitpicking, but on the 2 right-hand poles, you don't need the neck red/white connection in positions 1 & 2 or the bridge red/white connections in positions 4 & 5.

BTW you are using a master tone/master volume here, aren't you?

well for position 3 i wanted both full pickups (slugs and screws) in series with one another, like a stock middle position on an lp pickup switch, and the thing about the red leads being attached to the extra lugs, i was pretty sure i didnt have to, but i wanted to be safe. did i draw out position 3 wrong?
thanks

P.S. i'm still learning, this is the first diagram i made off the top of my head, EVER! thanks for your patience

this is probably wrong but, would this gimme the right positions?

the stray black lead towards the top is to the output. the positions i want are listed in the picture... thanks
