Re: treble bleed and Suhr HSS switching: opinions
This is a pretty good representation of the Suhr HSS switching:
The idea is, it uses caps and resistors to make single coils and humbuckers "see" pots appropriate to the type of pickups; humbuckers "see" 500k and single coils "see" 250k. Additionally, I think there's a treble bleed also in there.

Re: treble bleed and Suhr HSS switching: opinions
I don't know about the HSS resistor switching, but treble bleeds can sound harsh & brittle with volume rolled down. It sounds like a treble range that's immune to the volume knob; ie there's always this loud high end sitting on top of whatever the rest of the pickup(s) are doing. I don't like treble bleed circuits because it's a giant PITA to tune one NOT to do that.
