Question about unusual wiring

[MCSV]

Hi,
I'm on the planning stage of giving my guitar a new wiring. The guitar already has 3 switches, 1 five way
switch and 3 pots. H-S-S, 2 tones 1 vol. I'm gonna swap the 3 regular pots for push-pulls.

My plan is to use two switches to turn on/off each of the "humbucker" coils (2 singles, lace). One push-pull will engage the humbucker on pos 1 and 2 of the five way (neck and neck+mid), one-push pull will engage a treble bleed on the volume and the last push-pull will be a bypass (excludes tones and volume fom the signal). That leaves me with one unused switch. I was thinking about using it to change the neck single form series/parallel with the humbucker (or whatever coil is on) or the mid position. The question is, can it be done to both using a single switch?

Anyone have a link for a wiring diagram that is kinda close to what I plan to do?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum

So the guitar has
3 switches
1 5-way

and you are making all three pot push-pull switches as well?

If you are using 2 switches to control the Lace coils, one push-pull for the treble bleed, one push-pull as a blower switch, that actually leaves 2 switches; 1 push-pull and 1 whatever was in there before.

What's not clear is what kind of 3 switches were in there before. Are they DPDT on-on-on switches? Or SPDT on-on?

The remaining push-pull could be used to put the neck in series with the bridge. You need 6 lugs on the switch to do that.

You won't find a single wiring diagram that is close to an 'unusual' wiring scheme. You'll have to look up the various things you want to do: coil splits, selectable treble bleed, blower switch, etc. and combine those wiring diagrams.

Thank you!

One of the push pulls will also be used to add the humbucker in positions 1 and 2 of the five-way.

What's not clear is what kind of 3 switches were in there before. Are they DPDT on-on-on switches? Or SPDT on-on?

I'm not sure on the nomenclature, but of the 3 existing switches, 2 of them have two positions and have three lugs (SPDT?). One is two positions and six lugs (DPDT?). One of the SPDT was a coil split, the other is the bleed. The DPDT is already a 'blower".

You won't find a single wiring diagram that is close to an 'unusual' wiring scheme. You'll have to look up the various things you want to do: coil splits, selectable treble bleed, blower switch, etc. and combine those wiring diagrams.

In the end then, there's no way to use only one switch to control series/parallel of the neck+mid and neck+humb? I would need 2?
Thanks!
