Need wiring help to bring ‘the wife’ to life.

So basically putting together my own telecaster and it’s all planned out apart from the wiring. So I’m going to be putting a set of Seymour Duncan sthr-1 hot rails for telecasters in it. So what I was thinking was a push/pull pots for splitting the pickups (tone pot would split the neck and volume pot would split the bridge) and a dpdt switch (on-off-on) on the bridge pickup for series and parallel options. The pickup selector switch I bought is a 3 way grigsby switch.

So is this doable and if so how would it be done? I appreciate any help and if there’s a diagram I would be eternally thankful. Or if you have any ideas on better mods with this configuration I would love to hear them.

Cheers in advance.

Hot rails bridge is Great , I wouldn't use one in the Neck ( u WILL lose some of the possible Dynamics of Tone there ( Bad Idea - imho ) in fact , I cant think of ANY Ax i would use a " Set" of those in but bridge - All Day Long ( even if doing straight Hard Rock . AGAIN , I'm talking about a Telecaster
