2 Humbucker 5-way switch help

[stoddmi]

Hey Peeps,

I am trying to wire 2 SD humbuckers (JB and Lil 59) to a 5 way switch with the following positions:

1: Bridge Humbucker full
2: Bridge Humbucker split
3: Bridge full and neck full
4: neck Humbucker split
5: Neck Humbucker full

I'm using a vintage Fender Style 5 way switch and 1 volume pot.

Can anyone tell me the wiring positions on the switch?

Thanks!!

Stoddmi

I don't think you can do this with a regular switch. You can do this with a 4-pole Super Switch or a Megaswitch Model E, though.

What he said, I just did this with two Invaders and it took a super switch. I didn't go for this but the ESP I bought already had a super switch in it so I just reused it.

Yep, you need a super switch.
