Welcome to the forum.

What kind of guitar? Which is another way of asking, what kind of switch?

 

[Big cajun]

Les Paul wannabe 3 way switch

 

[Artie]

Is this basically an LP Black Beauty? Or clone?

I'll assume the above guitar. Your next decision, is how you want to incorporate the middle pup. There's several different ways that are common.

1st. The Gibson way, that uses a special 3-way switch. https://guitarelectronics.com/switchcraft-3-pickup-guitar-toggle-switch-w-black-tip/

2nd. Three volume controls, with a master tone control.

3rd. Push-pull to add the middle to whatever the 3-way is doing.

4th. Push-pull to override whatever the 3-way is doing.

5th. The "FreeWay" switch.

And then, there's always any idea you have that I / we haven't thought of.

What i am trying to do is coil split the neck and bridge and have the middle as a regular humbucker

 

[Artie]

That's fine, but I still need to know how you plan to activate the middle pup. Do you plan to have it hard wired "on" all the time, then used with the other two with the regular 3-way switch?
