Hi all, I need your guys help. I want to change the stock PU’s from my SV5470a (True Duo PU’s) and bought SD Jazz (neck), Custom Stack Plus (middle) and JB (bridge). I want to be able to coil split, also the stacked middle PU. The SV has a VLX91 5 way switch and I have a regular Alpha push pull volume pot. I can’t seem to figure out the switch... I want: volume up, all split and Down, all HB. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance

You can’t split 3 pickups with one push pull. But you wouldn’t want to split the stack anyway. That will just make it weak and no longer noiseless.

Right, thanks! I’ll tape off the red wire from the Stack then... Any idea on the VLX91 switch?

I assumed the OP meant splitting the middle pickup only for Positions 2 & 4 - to put its main coil in parallel with one of the coils from the neck or bridge pup.

In that case, that can be done with a 5 way superswitch and a diagram like this (note: the pickup color code used is Dimarzio's and not SD's, and the numerical order list on the right side is inversed, i.e. Position 1 really is bridge pup, not neck pup.
