Can someone help me with a wiring diagram?

HH with a super 5 way 1 vol 1 tone. I can't find a diagram that has this configuration.

1 bridge
2 bridge/neck outer coils
3 bridge/neck
4 neck screw coil (north)
5 neck

This super switch is killing me. Any help is much appreciated.

This might be close to what you are after. No superswitch required. Watch out for the different wiring code:

Brian, not quite what he was after...wrong switch and wrong results...but very interesting nevertheless.

It's too early for me to think straight right now, but Artie will get it right. If he doesn't get back to you soon, I'll take another look.

I started to take a stab at it, then I realized in position 4 you've got to swap the neck black and red, and green and white from a 5-way. Everything I can think of would likely ground out the works.

Something that doesn't sound right, though is on Seymour Duncan color code charts, the screw coil is south, not north. Am I missing something?
 
Re: Can someone help me with a wiring diagram?

Apart from the single tone control and position #2, the OP request is the Fender Big Apple / Double Fat Stratocaster circuit.

The pos 2 Outer Coils selection is, effectively, Artie's "virtual humbucker" idea.

As on the Fender, it will be necessary to flip the magnet of one pickup and connect the conductors of each of its coils in reverse. (Hot = White, split = black/green, ground = red. Bare remains grounded.)

Oops. Sorry. This one slipped past me. I'll get on it. ;)

Why not use the Duncan Triple-Shot system along with a normal 3-way switch, wiring is easy and it should do everything you want.

They are DiMarzios. The neck pup is a blusebucker. The north coil is the screw coil and does 90% of the work to sound single coil like while still bucking the hum. Red is north.

Need time to draw it. It's slightly simpler than I thought, but need time to do it. Artie would be more the authority, however. If he gets it done, I would follow his diagram.

Artie, Funkfingers, others, would this be it? (I don't know what the actual wire colors should be, but...)

Red
Black
White
Green

Will that diagram work if I swap the colors accordingly?
 
Re: Can someone help me with a wiring diagram?

Dimarzio.
Red is north start.
Black is north end.
White is south start.
Green is south end.
 
Re: Can someone help me with a wiring diagram?

I took a shot at it after I seen how a superswitch works. Will someone look at this and let me know if what I have will work for what I want?
