Strat Wiring Help

I'm pretty new to wiring but i have wired my HSS strat twice already, so i have a basic understanding of how it works, but i want to try out a new configuration and i have no idea how to wire. I'd be happy to get some help, or warnings about how its stupid. Anyway,

I have two singles coils and a SH-4 seymour duncan humubucker (so its 5 wires)
I have three pots (1 volume, 2 tone) and i do not use the tones whatsoever out of personal preference
The plan:
I want the volume pot to work as a main volume pot BUT
the second pot (tone) to work as a volume pot just for the middle single coil
the third pot to work as a variable coil split for the humbucker

I guess this will take the tone capacitor out of the equation. Also i have a standard 5 way fender switch.
Im thinking is is completely possible to accomplish but if i make one mistake in the wiring it will render it useless.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
 
Re: Strat Wiring Help

Sounds like you want a blender (for the middle pickup). If you want the hum bucker to split in position 2, it could be more complicated.

BTW - Noticed your username, you happen to know GuitarStv? :) Welcome to the forum, we're a bunch of jokesters for the most part.

I joined today lol, just to post this haha,
I should have clarified but i would want position 1 to be full humbucker with variable coil split (if thats possbile)
and separate volume control for the middle pickup isn't as important, thanks for the quick response
 
Re: Strat Wiring Help

You can do this:

Hermetico_s_HSS_X6.jpg

Notes:
White wires represented in light blue
Bare wire represented in grey.

Volume = Master Volume
Tone 1 = Independent middle volume
Tone 2 = Spin-a-split to Slug coil.

Assumptions:
Your singles are Fender or direct replacement
Neck is regular
Middle is RWRP

If your pickguard doesn't has an aluminum foil on its back then, please throw a jumper from volume case to tone1 case and, from tone1 case to tone2 case.

Herm, your drawings really have a "pro" look to them. Nice job. :)
