Help with a HH w/ coil split super switch wiring

[ericcomposer72]

Updated diagram, with bridge pup rotated. So both pups have the screw coil / south magnetic on the neck-facing side.

This is awesome.

I have a question, and I even tried to modify the diagram myself (go easy on me... as of 2 months ago, my understanding of how pickup wirings worked was "zero"):

Will this modification allow me to get both south coils of the pickups, in the middle position, with the push-push engaged? (while keeping everything else the same)

Yes. Well done!

Regarding "best practice" for how to add that new wire in physically at the bottom of the push-push: add a small jumper between the two bottom lugs (with the pre-existing long wire also coming off either of those two bottom lugs), vs (as depicted in your modded drawing) trying to splice into the long wire with a new small wire that comes off the bottom left lug

My very first attempt at doing soldering/pickup-swapping project myself (I usually farmed it out to a local tech) was a success!

Long story short- after wiring the superswitch per the diagram, removing the pickups from two different guitars (I was swapping the pickups of two guitars), I realized that Seymour Duncan Pickups will not fit in Suhr routs without dremel work (which I don't have), and Suhr pickups do not accept the screws used to secure Seymour Duncan/Dimarzio pickups.

SO.... because the SD neck pickup has screws on the south pole, and Suhr pickups have screws on the north pole, I decided I had to go back with your original diagram for rotating the neck pickup, instead of the bridge.

I used the following diagram (based on the original version you made) to get the north coil of the neck pickup in position 3 with the push-push engaged. Since it was my first time soldering, it took me the whole day!

Wow - congrats! There are a lot of wire connections in that particular diagram - so it would also take me all day to complete that wiring job if I was starting from scratch.

My first wiring project was also on a Sunday - it was much simpler -just replacing one pickup on a guitar - but it took me late into the evening and I was gettijng frustrated because I had work the next day. Nowadays, I break my large wiring jobs up into a few sessions over a couple days, so I can try and mitigate my urge to try and get it all done in one night, and prevent myself from doing sloppy work that can happen from rushing.
