Help with wiring diagram (3 humbucker question)

[superpete]

Looking at this diagram, i had a question. I have no issues with doing the wiring but wasn't sure of the end result. It is a 3 humbucker les paul style guitar. It looks to me like the wiring here would make the toggle switch work like a traditional 2 hum LP (Bridge, neck and bridge, and neck) with a master tone and the middle humbucker always on and available to be blended into any position via an independent volume control or rolled off completely. Am I reading it correctly? Anyone have any other 3 humbucker diagrams they prefer? Thank you so much

I'm pretty sure that since none of the splittable wires are being used (red/white), and each pickup has its own pot, it's a full hum/hum/hum configuration.

i guess my question is what the toggle would control and how the middle pickup comes into it. It looks like the middle pickup isn't connected to the toggle so it is controlled by it's volume knob. So you could do the normal 3 way les paul switching with the middle pickup volume on zero, and the middle can be added to any of those positions via the volume control. but i could be completely wrong. thats why im asking here!

You are correct. The toggle works as if it is a regular 2 pickup guitar, and you can blend the middle pickup into any of those positions with its volume knob.

Your read of the diagram is correct, and that is a more useful 3-PU setup than the standard Gibson version that is B, B+M, N
