HSH Wiring question

[Chris H]

HI, this may not be a normal setup, but I wanted to try it just to see how it sounds. I have a strat style guitar that I'm piecing together. I put a humbucker in the bridge and neck positions and a single coil in the middle position. It has the standard 5-way switch. I want to wire it so that I can select the bridge and neck pickups together and add a 3-way switch to control the bridge/neck selection to be in series or parallel. I hope that makes sense. Can someone please provide a schematic for how that can be done?
Note: The coils on these humbuckers cannot be split.
There are separate volume pots for the neck and bridge pickups and 1 tone pot.
Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

The series connection of 2 humbucker, which are not splitable, does not make a useful sound. Too much wire in series.

I don't think singles in series is a good sound, much less humbuckers in series. A switch to turn the neck on when the bridge is on (in parallel) might be useful, though.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I understand it may not be the best configuration, I'm new to wiring a guitar and want to try different configurations to get practice with soldering and learning the different switches that can be used and configurations that can be done.
@hamerfan, thanks for the explanation for why humbuckers in series is not a good idea. I was hoping to receive information like that.
@Mincer, I've talked to people who do think that singles in series sound good. Thanks for the switch suggestion. I did think about adding a switch for that purpose.
All of that being said though, I would still like to find a wiring diagram for this configuration. If for nothing else but to gain some experience and understanding for wiring guitars.
