I like this wiring diagram but I don't want the bridge humbucker to see a tone pot. I want only the neck/middle single coils to see the 250k tone pot. Can I do this without a super-switch?
HSS with 1 tone

Take the purple wire from the tone pot, and disconnect it from the volume pot. Connect it instead to the "green" square where the resistor is soldered to the switch.
Mind you, the tone will still be active in the middle/bridge position. There's no way to avoid that, even with a Superswitch.

thanks again ArtieToo. I'm using a 59n with braided wire so I just solder part of the metal braid to back of volume pot and snake the hot wire up to the switch? Also, I'm using this along with two single coils, which includes a rw/rp middle. The middle paired nicely with a trembucker bridge in the past, with hum-cancelling and no polarity issues. Will putting in a flipped 59n change this?

a Duncan humbucker split as normal should not have hum canceled with a RW RP middle. Will only with a standard wind middle and the RW RP in the neck unless you swap coils on your humbucker.

In another HSS setup I had a normally-split duncan bucker (to the slug coil) with a neck single be hum-cancelling, but I had to switch the leads I'd normally use for the single coils. The middle was rw/rp and I got hum-cancelling in positions 1, 3, and 4. That agrees with what you said. So if I switched to a non-rw/rp middle pickup then I'd have hum-cancelling in 1, 2, and 3 instead?

If I use a 470k resistor, won't the bridge/middle position see a 163k pot? For a classic SSS strat isn't the 2nd and 4th positions usually seeing 250k?
