Wiring Diagram for HSH Strat, 3 push pulls

[Captain Bananas]

Hi all,

I am hoping to wire up a new pickguard for my Strat with splittable coil's (59/ custom hybrid in the bridge & hybrid 59/ jazz in the neck) and keep the standard alnico single in the mid. I have three 500k cts push pull pots and need help with a wiring diagram. I want to be able to split the hb's to single, and also series or parrallel. If other splitting options are readily available with the third pot, such as neck and bridge, then I'd be keen to check that out also.
Ideally i'd rather wire the pick guard without additional switches and just use the push pull pots.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

I actually have this same wiring on one of my guitars with a 59/Jazz hybrid. It enables you to switch to series, parallel, or either coil with 2 push pull pots.

Add that to your main strat wiring diagram with neck and bridge on switch for your last push pull pot:

Awesome, thanks for your help. I think I've got my head around it, just wire the humbuckers as per the P-rails, add the wiring for the bridge pickup mod to the on switch on tone pot two and wire as per standard hsh 5 way switch. I'm guessing I'll keep the one cap value to 22 also?

Thanks again

I'd keep the cap value unless you don't like the sound, then switch it out. But I'd start with what you have.

Okay, I've drawn up what with my limited understanding a combination of the two wiring diagrams but I'm getting lost where there are a few contradictions on the bridge tone pot and the main blade switch, if anyone is able to see through this a little more clearly it would be a huge help. :?:

I'm really interested in this because I want to do the same mod with my pickups. but all these wires get confusing lolll

Everything on the diagram displayed in my first post is accurate minus the prails push pulls and what you want to do with the tone pots. Here's a video about how to get the tone pots the way you want:
