Re: wiring help

You might want to start on the GuitarNuts site. Here's a link to an electrical schematic from there that has what you asked for and then some: http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/sw1a.php

R1 = volume
R2 = bridge tone
R3 = neck tone

The switches here are on/off/on switches that allow each pickup to be turned on either in-phase or out-of-phase. I'm not sure how useful the out-of-phase would be without individual volume controls, since it usually sounds better if you can find the "sweet spot" where one pickup is turned down slightly...

Hopefully this can get you pointed in the right direction anyway.

At the risk of complicating things, in a perfect world I would want the bridge humbucker to be split whenever I turned on either of the single coils. Unfortunately, you would have to use either 3 or 4-pole switches for those pickups. Not impossible - just a bit messy wiring wise.
