idea for pup switching

[rraawwrr]

this would be pretty cool for me if it worked - it would give me all the tones id need. so i would have a guitar with 2 humbuckers, going into a 3-way switch.

position one - neck pup
middle position - both in parallel
position three - bridge pup

and then just a volume knob, no tone knobs.

how would this work? has anybody ever seen a schematic for something like this? thanks!

...isn't that how humbucker guitars are normally done? Or is the middle both in series?

You might want to post a similar thread in The Pickup Lounge and see what happens there.
Just a thought....

That is the way that almost all two-humbucker guitars are wired.
The only exception being, that you're leaving off the tone control.

Like this schematic from SD:

(That drawing, without the tone control.)
