Help wiring import switch for strat to split bridge HB and hum-canceling middle

[jmcorey]

Hi everyone,

I need help with a diagram to wire an HSS strat with all the positions hum canceling. The guitar has a 5-way import switch. I'm using DiMarzio Area 58s in neck and middle.

I would like the switching to be as follows:

1 - Bridge HB
2 - Slug coil of bridge HB and top coil of middle pickup (Area 58)
3 - Middle pickup
4 - Middle and Neck
5 - Neck

Obviously, positions 1, 3-5 are straightforward, but position 2 is complicated.

I would very much appreciate any help y'all could give me.

This is great. At first, I didn't know that the O's were poles, but that became apparent. Very helpful. Not only did you show me how to wire my guitar this way, but with this diagram, you showed me how to think of these switches so I can wire it any way. Gracias.
