Help wiring a 5 way super switch? (My first build)

[LazzMarrio]

Hi everyone. I'm building my first guitar, and it's time to wire it up. I drew up a design, and was wondering if any of you guys would check and make sure I didn't totally goof up.

I have two humbuckers, a 4 pole 5 way super switch, and three push pull pots. The way I hope for it to function is :

If the volume pots are pushed down, the humbuckers are wired in series
If they are pulled up, the corresponding pickup will be switched to parallel and coil splitting will not work.

If the 5 way is in position 1, the neck pickup will be active
If the 5 way is in position 2, inner coils will be active
If the 5 way is in position 3, both pickups will be active
If the 5 way is in position 4, outer coils will be active
If the 5 way is in position 5, the bridge pickup will be active

If a humbucker is wired in parallel, position 2 or 4 will not affect it.

The tone pot has two caps, for the dual tone mod.

I think that is everything, and I attached a (horrible) picture that I hope you guys to look over. Seymour Duncan wiring colors for the pickups.

If anyone finds a problem, please let me know. Also, if you have advice or comments, I'd love to hear it. This is my very first build, and I sure do need it.

Thanks all

-Larry

Looks like it just might work. I would wire it with alligator clips first and check for undesirable artifacts; like dead sound positions, out of phase issues.

I wrote a blog with a similar setup. I wanted all positions to be humbucking so I had to flip a magnet.
