Strat Super Switch Wiring Diagram

So, if you're like me you love having humbuckers on your Strat (mine is an HSH, with a mini-humbucker at the neck), but also like the sound of the single coils. I already have a switch in the volume pot to turn the humbuckers into single coils. What I want now, is to be able to have either the Bridge, the Middle, the Bridge + Neck (middle position on Gibson SG/Tele), the Middle + Neck (the best out-of-phase position), or the Neck on its own. I'm not so keen on the other out-of-phase position, the one with the Bridge + Middle pickups, especially given the option of having the Bridge humbucker working flat out. Here's a wiring diagram that shows how to set this up using a 5-way Strat super switch. Out of the four poles you only need three, one per pickup, essentially. In all this gives you nine separate sounds. The only one that won't sound different with switch 2 in use is Middle on its own (Switch 1 in position 2), otherwise they will all sound different when coil-split
