Hey guys, so I'm trying to do a fancy HSH setup that I can't seem to come across a diagram for, and I'm not advanced enough to draw my own so I thought I'd seek higher council.
I've got a Rio Grande Crunchbox (4 wire humbucker) bridge pickup, a Vintage Rails for the middle, and a Lil 59 for the neck that are going into a Jackson Dinky HSS. I'm trying to have both bridge and neck humbuckers go into parallel when in positions 2&4 to utilize hum cancelling in all positions and also maintain Stratty-ness. If at all possible I'd really like to limit the components to a basic 5 way blade switch, 1 vol, and 1 tone, no push pulls. I've never been a fan of the sound of mini humbuckers split, so I wanted to try out parallel wiring to see if I get the quack I'm after when combined with the Vintage Rails in the middle. I wasn't sure if two humbuckers can be split into parallel on the same 5 way blade switch or if I'd need to go the super switch route? I can't seem to track down a diagram that has this exact setup, so I figured maybe someone on here could assist.
Pos 1: Neck Humbucker (Full, series)
Pos 2: Neck Humbucker (Full, parallel) + Middle
Pos 3: Middle (OR Neck + Bridge if possible)
Pos 4: Bridge Humbucker (Full, parallel) + Middle
Pos 5: Bridge Humbucker (Full, series)
5 way blade, 1 vol, 1 tone
Any and all help is much appreciated, and please let me know if I need to clarify anything further. If someone sees what I'm trying to accomplish but has a better pickup combo, please let me know as I'm just in the experimental phase right now. Thanks!
