Wiring question How to split north/south coils

I would like to use the slug coil of the bridge pickup and screw coil of the neck pickup so if someone would tell me what to change on this diagram
(assuming it is not already wired like that and I assume it is not). Or do I need a super switch? Thanks in advance.

Re: Wiring question How to split north/south coils

Do you want them to be split all of the time or do you want them to auto split in certain positions on your switch? Or do you want a separate switch to manually split them whenever you choose? If so, do you want to split them at the same time using one switch or separately using a switch for each pup?

Sorry, forgot to say.
1st position bridge humbucker, 2nd position bridge slug coil, 3rd position both humbuckers, 4th position neck screw coil, 5th position neck humbucker.

You'll need a superswitch for that. I'll get back with directions.

You know that the super switch is 4 separate 1P5T switches connected physically but not electrically.
For ease I'll refer to Upper Left, UR, LL, and LR switches. I'll also be referring to the SD wire colors. There are probably many ways to wire it to get what you want. This is just one way I came up with.
The UL and UR switches's common lugs are at the top (outside). Next are lugs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The next lugs are on the LL and LR switches and they are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then common (on the bottom or outside).

Bridge pup black wire goes to UL lugs 1,2, and 3.
Bridge pup red and white wires attach to LL lug 2.
LL common lug goes to ground.
Connect UL common lug to UR and LR common lugs.
Neck pup black wire goes to UR lugs 3, 4, and 5.
Neck pup red and white wires connect to LR lug 4.
The common lug of the LR switch goes to the input lug of the vol pot.

Thanks, I will order a super switch and then try your method. And yes the pickups are SD. Will report after trying.
