2 switches to add pickup & change phase

[Natman]

Hi all, I have a weird wiring scheme to figure out. I figured I would ask here because there's so many knowledgeable folks on this forum!

I have a guitar with 2 pickups (and a 3-way switch). I want to add a middle pickup that I can turn on or off, regarless of which setting I have on the 3-way switch. Then I want to add a second switch to change said pickup's phase. It has to be done with 2 seperate slider switches cuz that's the only way it will fit! Thanks if yo can help or point me to a schematic!

Does the new middle pickup need to be on a volume control or just plain on/off? You can just wire it to the output jack in parallel with your other pickups, put an on/off switch on the hot lead followed by a DPDT slider switch for the phase. There's several diagrams of phase switches under the SUPPORT menu on the main Seymour Duncan site. Hope that helps.

Something like this should do it:
