Seymour Duncan Liberator Volume Pot

There is a fourth option although it starts deviating from your request where position 2 is one inner and one outer coil and position 4 is the other inner and outer coilw. This does provide hum cancelling

How different do they sound? Is it significant that it's worth having both options?
 
To me, the neck side coils sound better than the bridge side ones. More output, too.
 
No problem. It gives me the opportunity to create a diagram that features the Liberator , which i can use as a template in the future for other diagrams.

Do either of your two humbuckers have logos on them? Or a cover with a design onnit? If yes, please specify. The reason I ask is that to get the two splitcoil pairs in Positions 2 and 4 to be humcanceling, i could either A) design the diagram to rotate one of the pickups 180 degrees, plus design the wiring connections in a certain way, or B) if the pickup candidate has a logo or design pattern that would make it look odd turned around like that, the diagram could be designed with the intent that you would instead partially disassemble the pickup beforehand, flip the magnet over, and then reassemble the pickup. In followup replies i and other members here could cover HOW to do Option B if that is the one you want. There is a third option, where if you don't care about 60 cycle hum being present in Positons 2 and 4, then we don't have to do anything special at all.

Let me know your thoughts, questions, etc.

I can flip the neck humbucker's magnet 180 degrees and put it back in the neck humbucker, It has the Seymour Logo which I would like to maintain-I have replaced magnets before so should be easy :)

As I was working on the diagram for you I realized that your plan to use a pickup designed as a bridge pickup in the Neck position here, makes a difference for what changes we do and don't need to do here. The Screaming Demon, as a bridge pickup and your plan to continue having the logo facing the corect way, will already have its magnetically South coil situated as the inner coil in the Neck position, so no magnet flip is required.
Pickups designed as Neck pickups typically have the South magnetic coil as the outer coil, and that normally drives the need to (one way or the other) get the South coil situated as the Inner coil instead when one wants the Inner and Outer coil pairs to be hum canceling, since the Bridge pickup's Inner coil is typically (and also in this case) magnetic North.
 
Thank you for pointing that out! In that case, this sounds like it will be easier than expected! I like the screamin demon as a neck pickup so this is good news in case I want to do this same setup in another guitar

Great.

Here is the completed diagram. Let me know if you have any questions.
