Master Partial Split, Master Series/Parallel, Phase Wiring?

[DjackTheDjurst]

Hello. I'm currently wiring up an Explorer with some pickups and had an idea wiring wise to try. I'm hoping for Master Partial Split (I use a capacitor for a "tuned coil split" [I prefer to call it a Cap Split], a 224 [0.22uf] capacitor to be exact), Master Series/Parallel and a phase switch. The issue I'm running into is all of the diagrams send the Bridge hot wire to the bottom left terminal of the split switch, in order to ground it. Since I'm using a capacitor for the split, I feel like that wouldn't properly put it in series and instead be a thin mess. Would it even be possible to wire this up with either a partial split or tuned coil tap and still have series/parallel? (It's 2v1t for reference).

Also, I'm using the diagram below as my main reference.

thats a lot of switching! let me look at that diagram for a bit. when i do a partial split, i use a resistor inline with the split ground connection. never tried using a cap

So what i found when using a cap is the value matters. Gibson and Ibanez use a 223, and it works, although it causes a noticeable mids peak (because with the cap grounding it, its like rolling the tone knob all the way down on just one coil). So I experiment with different values and ended up finding the higher ones are much better for this (0.15-0.33uf) since they move that peak towards the bass range. It sounds like a fat single coil around there. Any higher and you start to get a volume drop

So I wired it up, and what I found was a big old nightmare. So far, adding the capacitor cause things to just not function, although I might be adding it in the wrong place. Even if it was just a resistor, I just can't seem to figure out how to add the partial split
