I have an HSH Strat. I have replaced the Humbuckers with 59s ( which I like very much) and they are both wired with series/split/parallel switches. The middle pickup is a Fender N3. I am obsessing over putting in a in phase/out of phase switch. I was first going to do that on the neck pickup but now I'm leaning towards the middle pickup because that would give me the option of using it with the neck or the bridge pickup. I have a seven tone switch so I guess I could use it with both HBs. I have only recently started modding so I'm looking for advice even if that advice is leave well enough alone. My knowledge of electronics is practically nil. Fire away

Seeking advice for HSH Strat
I have out of phase on 3 guitars. It's tricky on a strat as you have a master vol and the tone can get a bit thin. The way I got round that is I use a .1 uF cap so send the phase reversed ground signal to hot output, which throttled the low bass hence reversing the cancellation and making the tone fatter.
I also put out of phase on a 4p3t switch, up puts middle out of phase, middle is all in phase, down is bridge out of phase.
I also have a neck and bridge blend pot so when the bridge is out of phase it can be out of phase with the middle and or blend in the neck so it's not too extreme.
Here's a demo of it. I put the middle half out of phase using phostenix method and inspired by that us 3/4 out of phase - see what you think:
