Single pickup guitar (unusual wiring scheme)

Hey guys, how are you?

So, I'm working on a Esquire(esq) build with just a single humbucker pickup at the bridge position, one volume and one tone control. No traditional three-way switch involved.

The thing is, I want to wire an on/on/on dptd switch to achieve the following configuration:

-coils series
-coils parallel
-straight to output jack

Could you guys help me with the schematics? I know this is possible, because I've done the series/parallel/coil cut thing a couple of times, but I have no idea how to do it...

By the way, push-pulls are not an option to me. I just don't like them.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,

R.
 
Re: Single pickup guitar (unusual wiring scheme)

Hey guys,

Now I'm thinking about it and I don't think it's possible to do it with a single DP3T (on/on/on) switch, because I would actually need two outputs; one would output normally to the rest of the volume/tone circuit and the other would output straight to jack.

So, I think I would need two switches. One (on/on for regular series/parallel tone or on/on/on for series/parallel/single coil tone) and a second DPDT (on/on) switch before it to bypass the whole circuit and output directly to jack.

What do you think?

I know there are some wiring gurus here...I'm waiting for your help! :)

Cheers,

R
