my lipstick tubes came in! ....switch options?

[stonabus]

so here is the project strat:

Warmoth Mary Kay White one-piece Alder body
Fender Deluxe V-neck Maple Strat neck
Tortoise guards (pick and trem)
and a set of Seymour Duncan lipstick tubes
standard trem

Im still waiting on the electronics from Allparts:
five way/4 pole switch, a push/pull pot (250k), 250k tone pots and various capacitors to try.
Im going to shield the body and use star grounding.

so, until the rest of the parts come in, I was wondering what options I have with the "superswitch"/push/pull combo. I was going to try this or this, but what other options do I have? Im too stupid to figure out what does what on the switch so, be easy on me.

I'm no wiring guru ... I use stock wiring on strats with the tone jumped to the bridge so I can roll off some highs on the bridge pickup, which is something I'm sure you'll want on the lipstick pickups

I don't know how you'd do this, but the additional combos I'd want would be N+B and all three in series

There are some who might call me a "wiring guru" and I've tried some oddball wiring schemes, but I always come back to simple configurations. You may want to try the basic Fralin Blender pot idea. It gives you the N+B combo, and the N+M+B combo, and requires no additional parts beyond the traditional Strat parts.

Just a thought.

Definately do some kind of series/parallel wiring. I have a switch on my Dano that puts all 3 pickups in series. Its a good sound that really punches the front end of the amp.
