Wiring idea, can't find a diagram...

[TIGEREYELASER]

I have a wiring idea for an HSS strat project I'm working on that would include in the N+B and the N+M+B, is there an easy way of doing this as I have a push-pull pot sitting around collecting dust. But like I said in the title of this thread the only diagram I can find is for 3 single coil pickups. Any help would be appreciated!!!

This is the standard issue SD diagram. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=switch_f_bp

My preference is to make the neck PU be the one that gets switched. I also prefer to have the push-pull pot under the upper tone control knob. The one other change that I would make is to add a jumper connection on the selector switch so that the middle and bridge pickups both exploit the lower tone pot.

I'd go Master Vol / Master Tone / Blender pot. Never had a use for two tones on a Strat, and I like being able to fade the neck/bridge pickup in instead of it just being on.

I need a diagram for a Hum-Sing-Sing configuration. I have a Duncan designed HB that I'm using as a starter pickup to see if I can make this work before I put big bucks into it.

The switch operation to add it into any switch position is identical. If you're wiring a humbucker in with no autosplits then there are 2 wires to connect in just the same way as with a singlecoil. Black to the switch and green/bare to the back of the pot assuming the colours are the same as Duncan regular buckers.

This looks pretty cool

Thank you DreX, that may work quite nicely...

Yeah I think I'll have to try it with my one and only HSS.

Note that the treble bleed on the volume pot shown there is completely optional, if that wasn't obvious. Same with the 250k pots, that volume should probably be 500k on account of the humbucker, and for a "roll a split" humbucker mod. I'd also use a 500k pot, or even a no load pot to maximize the resistance between the positive signal and ground when you don't want to have the humbucker split. So, 500k all around for me.
