Wiring Options for a 3-Way Switch

[KeYz666]

I have an Ibanez ARZ700 and looking for a change of pickups. Pegasus/Sentient looks like the set for me, but I may be limited with my switch.
Realistically, 3-way is all I'd need. I just never found wiring schematics for my ideal setup.

I have two humbuckers, one tone pot, one volume pot, and one 3-way switch.
Is it possible to have the following configuration without the need of a pull/push switch?

Position 1 - Bridge in Series
Position 2 - Neck in Parallel
Position 3 - Neck in Series

Realistically...no, a 3-way is not all you need. In order to just get series/parallel in the neck you need an additional DPDT switch wired as follows:

Your 3-way will function as normal:
Position #1 = bridge pup only (coils in series)
Position #2 = Bridge and neck pups together (in parallel with each other. Neck coils in series or parallel depending on position of the DPDT)
position #3 = neck pup only (coils in series or parallel depending on position of DPDT).

What type of switch does your guitar have? Switchcraft toggle, CRL lever, Asian eight-contacts-in-line lever, DP3T, 4P3T, some other?

Alternatively, all three of your desired sounds (PLUS two others) would be possible with a 24-contact Superswitch such as the special OTAX ones used in some Ibanez HH guitars. The DiMarzio website has diagrams for American 24-contact switches.

In both cases, you would need to translate the original pickup conductor colour codes to the Seymour Duncan convention.
