Is it possible to have the middle & neck share one tone control & bridge have its own, without adding extra switches or a super switch?

I have not seen a diagram for splitting all p'ups like that one before, so I'm intrigued by it. I think its the max you can do with it wiring wise, no workable ideas growing in my head except a master tone would work for all three. Can't see how I could use a single push pull to split all unless it were a 3PDT. The simplest solution that popped in my head was to connect another wire from the neck tone pot to the middle pickup tab of the switch but the voice in my head says it wont work lol

Anyone else see a way around the wiring?

My Strat has the middle and neck on one tone and the bridge on it's own no-load tone control. If you are trying to maintain split options, you'll have to get creative at moving those around or adding push pulls.

If you want that wiring with one tone controlling neck and middle is to connect the middle pickup tab to the neck tab on the switch. Then move the wire that connects the middle pickup to the lower tone knob to the bridge pickup. That's how it works for true single coils, I don't know how the third wire would affect it, but it should be fine.
