Can someone help me with a diagram on how to wire a Humbucker to where when the push/pull pot is in the down position it is in parallel and when pulled it’s in series? Basically, I plan to be wiring a slightly dark sounding Humbucker in the neck position I’d like to brighten by making it wired in parallel but when needed for extra girth and slight boost I want to pull the pot for series mode. Thanks.

Pickup wiring help? Push (parallel)/pull series Humbucker wiring
With a push pull you won’t have the middle position seen in this drawing, but it’s the same wiring. For humbucker in the up position and parallel in the down position, treat the top of the drawing as the bottom of the pot. (So pulling up throws the switch up toward the bottom of the pot, and pushing down throws the switch away from the bottom of the pot.
