Pickup wiring: can this be done?

[Flameycake]

Hey guys, new to this forum. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to pickup wiring. I'll manage to follow a diagram but I don't know how to make my own wiring configurations. I want to make a configuration with a 5 way selector and a push pull pot to have a bunch of various wirings and also split coil options without sacrificing two of my selector positions.


This is an idea of what I'd like. Hope it's readable!
I'd appreciate if someone can explain if and how this can be done. Thank you

Pretty simple, actually. But it will require a Superswitch to do it. Like this:



That will probably require some explanation. (Which I can do tomorrow.)

There was no mention in the OP of how many tone controls are required. That would make the diagram more interesting.

"Interesting" isn't the word I'd use, but yes, I assumed master vol/tone.

Hey Artie! Thanks for the reply! Sorry for my own delay in checking it out!
I've been doing some self-directed learning and I actually understand the diagram you made, so no need for extra explanations!
I've since slightly modified my design and I modified the wiring accordingly.
Now I'm trying to understand polarity and phase issues before I start messing around with my pickups ...
