Guitar wiring diagram, and app idea

[prs22]

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out some wiring options for a PRS SE Custom 22 (2 humbuckers) that I'm modding.
Basically, I want it to have a double gang blender pot instead of a 3 way switch, 1 master volume (push pull out of phase), neck tone pot (push pull coil tap neck), bridge tone pot (push pull coil tap bridge). Or something similar to that configuration. I'm working off the SD wiring schemes, but none of them quite adapts to what I'm trying to do.
Anyone seen a diagram that resembles the above? I think I'm clear on how to replace the 3 way switch with a blender, so really just looking for the rest.

As I'm doing this I can't help thinking, how great it would be to be able to have a website or app where you could select the options and it would spit a custom wiring diagram. I'm a software developer myself, and would be willing to code this, but don't have enough understanding of guitar wiring to build such a thing. I would need someone with tons of experience in guitar wiring to assist with the know how. Anyone interested?

I replaced the switch on my SG with a blend pot once. I have drawings of what I did, but I didn't have all the other switches and stuff you are talking about.

I can't quite spit out a diagram at the moment, but a word of advice I could give is that if you understand the basics of how all the components work together you can do it fairly easily. Take this diagram to start:



First, consider that you can move around the switches on the back of the pots and that you can split the left and right side of a switch if they don't relate to each other, like the coil split switch. The right side of the switch that this diagram has on the master volume goes with the neck, so that would go on the neck pot and the left side would be moved to the bridge pot.

You can also ignore all the fancy wiring that this diagram has on the neck tone control, that's irrelevant to what you want.

Then simply move the switch the diagram has on the bridge tone to your master volume.

I'd have to look up how to do a blend pot again to figure that out, but if you managed to understand what I wrote above, you are 95% of the way there.

Thanks. Yeah this diagrams seems like the closest one I've found.
So I've put together an idea, without changing much and keeping the series/parallel option, but swapping the 3 way switch for a blender.
Here's what it looks like. Does this make sense?

That is actually a really good idea for an app.

That looks about right. I think the app idea is good, right now I just bastardize SD diagrams with Microsoft Paint.

LOL, yeah, I do the same, but Paint doesn't validate if the electronics are actually going to work, hence the app idea
