So, I've been thinking about some pickup config ideas, but this one by far beats the rest of the other ideas I have. Basically, it allows for quite a number of pickup combos, including series/parallel, coil splitting, various pickup selections, and a mix of all of them.
Here's a picture! :D

So, instead of using the switch for pickups, I used buttons for each individual pickup. The numbers beside the pickup corresponds to each of the numbered buttons. The series/parallel switch is the 4th button.
The 3-way switch controls which coils are active in each humbucker, and they're labeled according to the coils closest to the middle pickup.
Two pots will be master pots for volume and tone control, and the last remaining potentiometer will be for whatever tickles your fancy (TBX, Variable Gain Boosters/Cutters, Piezo Pickup Volume, -cough cough- A Regular Tone Pot -cough cough-)

The only thing that actually isn't done is a circuit diagram, and unfortunately, I have no idea on how to put one together. :oops: If it isn't too much to ask, can someone create one for this? :D

But yeah, here's my idea, and if you like it, great! And if you intend to use it (when and if there's a circuit diagram available, if not, godspeed) then I'm glad to have helped. :D
