H-S-H with killswitch. Would this work?

[theblueark]

Hi I'm trying to add a killswitch to my H-S-H with a 5 selector. Here's what i'm hoping to achieve.

Position 1: Bridge Humbucker
Position 2: Output grounded (killswitch)
Position 3: Middle Singlecoil
Position 4: Middle Singlecoil and Bridge-facing Singlecoil of Neck Humbucker
Position 5: Neck Humbucker

Here's my design. Seems workable to me, but I may have missed something. Position 2 connects the Middle Singlecoil and hence also the Bridge Humbucker to ground. So effectively the live of the volume is connected to ground.

As long as everything in position 2 goes to ground, it should kill.

Yup. Looks good to me also. But keep in mind . . . you're killing one of the coolest sounds on your axe.

Yay thanks!

Ya I know that position sounds great, but I'm putting in a very hot pickup for the bridge and I'm thinking it may ruin that position's sweet sound. So I thought I might as well make it a killswitch as an extra effect :laugh2:
