5-way tele wiring options

[alathIN]

Looking at a couple of options for wiring my DIY tele build - it's a two single coils set up - bridge pup is a GFS lipstick and neck is a Duncan vintage SH1.

I've mostly looked at two options:

1. the "Bill Lawrence" mod that gives you the standard tele switch positions, plus "neck plus bridge parallel half out of phase" and "neck minus 10% low end."
From a number of youtube videos, I definitely like the "half out of phase" sound. Not sure how much use I'd have for neck -10%.

2. a "super switch" option - promoted by Deaf Eddie among others - that gives you the standard tele positions, plus "neck plus bridge in series" and what I'm interpreting as "fully out of phase."

I wish I could merge these - and get the series and half out of phase options using the "super switch."

Would really appreciate any diagrams or advice/suggestions anyone can share.

Usually the neck and bridge in series option, like you would have in a standard 4 position switch, wouldn't be out of phase. You can certainly add a phase switch, but I don't know why anyone would.

On my Tele I have, in addition to the usual 3 positions, Series. Series and OOP and Half OOP . All these3 are very usable sounds especially series with OOP . I achieved this with 2 push pulls and a stock 3 way. . You cannot get all these with a super switch but it should be possible to get series and series OOP.

So what would be your top 5 positions? Might be easier to solve directly for that
