Pickup wiring help

[zedexseven]

I am looking for some help in a possibile wire config on a Charvel HS San Dimas. Current config is:


Bridge : JB
Neck : STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus - Altough I may switch this to a regular Fender single coil.
3 Way switch. Down is bridge, middle is both, up is neck.
1 volume control.


Is there any way to wire this up so it's like a strat position 2 when I am on the middle of the 3 way switch on the Charvel?

I have a fender strat that is HSS with and when on position 2 it splits the H and the middle S. Maybe I need a 5 way switch?

Either a 5 way blade or just change your vol pot to a push/pull to split the pups.

So essentially, on a 5 way blade switch on position 2 is just bridge and middle pickup together? I thought it was also out of phase or something like that which gave it the "quack". I am probably wrong though, just thought I read that somewhere. What I am looking for is that quack sound you get from a strat in those 2/4 positions.

The reason for needing the blade switch is that it has two independent sides to it: you use one side to select the pickups, and the other side to manage simultaneously splitting the humbucker. Though it might be possible on a 3-way blade: 1-Humbucker, 2 Split-hum + neck, 3-neck? Have to re-look at a switch to remember if that would work...
