A Squier Contemporary Tele with 2 humbuckers just landed in my lap. It's a cheap guitar, so I don't ​​​​​want to put TOO much time/effort/money into it, but, of course, I have to noodle with it. I have a standard 5-way blade switch in my parts pile, and I'm just curious what fun possibilities could be had? Any thoughts?(Yeah, yeah, I know, super switch...)

do the pups have 4 cond wiring? if not, you are pretty limited even with a super switch
 
Jeremy, they are 4-conductor cables. Mincer, I've never messed with flipping magnets, but these are fairly cheap Chinese pups, might be the time to dip my toes in that pool!
 
There is nothing you can do to 2 humbuckers that's worth doing on a standard 5 way switch except for coil splits.
 
right. the std 5 way limits things a fair amount since the 2 and 4 positions just share 1/3 or 3/5. splits or even partial splits are possible though.
