Hi. I'm having the SSL-1 installed in my Schecter CSH1 semihollow. The 2 humbuckers already in there each have their own volume and tone knobs. Can anyone tell me the best way to wire the new pickup, to give the best selection of pickup combinations, with the least amount of added switches and knobs? I'd at least like to be able to use the SSL-1 by itself, or in conjunction with either the neck or bridge pickup (which are splittable with pushpull tone controls).I'm thinking there should be a tone control for the SSL available as well- so would I need to add a pot for this? And an additional volume pot? I'm hoping someone can suggest a simpler solution that still offers good switching options. I know at the very least I'll have to add a toggle switch.

The easiest thing to do is to change one of the volume pots to a push-pull pot. Then you could use it to "swap" the middle hot wire for either bridge or neck hot wire. You'ld just need to decide between middle/bridge or middle/neck as the combo you'ld most likely use.
If you want to change both volume pots to push-pulls, you could do both. Neither wiring mod is very complicated. If you decide on either one, I can show you the diagram.
