Wiring sugestions

[Blue_Fingers_Jay]

Hello everybody!
I'm new to this forum.
I've been reading it, and I'm loving it!
For sometime I've been a fan of seymour duncan pick ups, recently I've decided to mod my guitar.
The new pick ups will be a Cool Rails for the neck, and a '59 humbucker for the brige, in the middle I have a custom single coil by Lag.
The guitar was a five way switch, 1 tone and 1 volume.
Besides changing the pick ups I would like to change the wiring, do you guys have any sugestions?
I would prefer to maintain the original look of the guitar, of course there's no problem in instaling a push/pull.
Any sugestions will be welcomed.
Thank you very much in advance.

Welcome to the board!

Off hand, with a HSS setup like you have there, it would seem like it would be good for a series/parallel mod. It basically will take that humbucker in the bridge to a more single coil sound with the flick of a switch (or pull of the pot if you mod it with a push-pull). BUT if your planning on a '59. those are mostly single conductor pickups that i've seen. You need a 4-conductor for that mod.
