Howdy, again,
I'm discussing the idea of modding a friend's Washburn RX50 guitar with him. The stock guitar is wired as a 3VT. The first idea was to mod it to a split-3VT, that is, with a push-pull that'd switch both humbuckers into single-coils by shunting the inner coil of each pickup into ground. That's not a problem, as I'd recently restored a friend's Schecter C-1 Exotic to that state after his push-pull pot broke (the pot shaft snapped clean off and the knob'd actually come off
). So that schematic looks like this.
Here's where it gets tricky: I also had the idea of having another push-pull pot that'd also switch the pickups' relation between parallel and series mode (that is, not pickups internally, but pickups in-between each other). So in the end, the guitar could have:
Can the extra S/P switch be added using a DPDT on-on switch or is it an unreasonable question?

- a simultaneous coil-splitter
- a series/parallel switch that
- a functioning 3-way selector
- standard volume and tone
