Partial coil tap and superswitch

Hello, this is my first post here :)

I'm stuck with a problem and I hope you'll be able to help me. I'm trying to wire a guitar with a superswitch, and I'd like to get the setting you have here on the picture. One Vol, One Tone, One 5way superswitch. BUT : I'd like to partial coil tap the position 2 and 4, by inserting a resistor for each pickup between it and the ground, in order to retain enough from the shunted coil to lower the hum and keep some beef.

The questions are :
- where do I put these resistors ?
- is my diagram correct ?

The color code is Seymour Duncan humbuckers.

Thank you !
 
Re: Partial coil tap and superswitch

The problem I see with your diagram is that you have your bridge pup red and white wires both grounded in every position. It's always in parallel mode and can't be split (because the green and black are also wired together). Is that really what you want?
 
Re: Partial coil tap and superswitch

The bridge white isn't grounded, the bare wire is (pale grey color). The white goes to top left 4.

Furthermore, with a little bit of help, this is the new version of my diagram :

The resistors are between the pups' wires and the input, and the bottom and top right 4 are grounded.
Also, there's a treble bleed 180pf on the vol knob.

Oh, now I see the white wire. Thanks for pointing that out, it was hard for me to see the white wire against the white background.
