Push/Pull Tone and Blower Switch

[DannyRaven]

So I finally settled on a wiring scheme for my partscaster. I think I've worked through it, but I want to make sure before I bust out the soldering iron. So the goal is to have 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, a push/pull tone to coil-split, a 3-way selector, and a blower switch to the bridge humbucker. I found these two diagrams showing how to do exactly what I want separately:


But if I'm not mistaken, just merging the two diagrams and sticking the blower on the hot wire would mean it wouldn't override the coil-split if it's engaged correct? So my thought was a 3PDT switch wired like this:

Should this work? Would all that extra wiring on the bridge North and South finishes' connection act like a ground and affect the sound of the pickup? If so my options would be to find a 4PDT switch or just hit the tone knob right?
Thanks!

Not the answer to your question, but maybe worth looking into whether your blower switch can be a push/push knob or not. In my experince, whenever I've wished for a blower switch, it was in the middle of a song and I'd want it to happan as fast as possible. Myself, I'm curious if that push/push can be the volume pot, which means fwere holes to drill and fewer components that can fail.

Hmm @Coma now that's an interesting idea. I didn't even realize push/push pots were a thing. I'm not worried about holes cuz the HH pickguard already has 3. Right now, the strat volume position is just empty (I always destroy my pinky on those volume knobs) and that's where I was planning to put the blower. But now you got me thinkin if the blower's on the volume pot I could throw a killswitch in that top hole...

Push/push pots are a great idea. You might also look into Fender's S1 switch, which can do this elegantly.
