Can someone draw me up a schematic for this combination (in a les paul)
One Push/Pull pot splits neck
One Push/Pull pot splits bridge
One Push/Pull pot puts both in parrellel
One Push/Pull pot changes the middle selection from paralell to series.
Is this possible with out a phasing switch
Will filtertrons (GFS Liverpool Alnico 5)
keep enough of the deep tone of a les paul in neck position

This shouldn't be too difficult, except for one thing: you can't use one pp to parallel two pups. There's just too many connections need be made. So, you could either parallel just one, or decide between the split or parallel mode for one (or both), pups. The split sound, and parallel sound tend to be similar.

Let me know how you want to go with this, and I'll point you in the right direction.

I havent ordered them yet and i am looking for online shops (in america) that will post them over here. Most pickups cost almost double in australia (seymours especially)

AFAIK, the only US source is guitarfetish.com. Jay is a stand up guy, but I don't know if they ship internationally.

I've check this out and they do ship too america
I dont think i will have the parallel option. Just splitting for each p/up and series/parallel when both p/ups r on.

I just got a pair of budget GFS hot paf-types, they delivered to me in UK within about 10 days. great service, good pickups and outstanding price. Thyroughly recommended for those like me who can't justify paying £120 for a pair of SD's when the guitar itself only cost £180 second hand off ebay...
