guys i need help with some special switching on my guitar project it involves one volume, one tone, one 5 way switch, a jazzmaster pickup and a humbucker... i could do the whole thing but the switching is my big issue... i want to get the most tonal possibilities out of this guitar so i was thinking of getting these selections in my guitar:

position 1: neck jm pup
position 2: jm pup/humbucker split
position 3: jm pup/ humbucker
position 4: humbucker split
position 5: bridge humbucker

could someone help me out with a diagram??? and please explain to me why the layout on the switch is the way it is??? i really want to understand how guitar switching is supposed to work...

It seems that most situations for single/humbucking splitting is done via an S-switch or a push/pull tone knob. In which case the typical 3 position switch would be used in combination with a switch of some sort for the humbucker. If what you you seek is possible, then it would involve some sort of wiring I have not heard of. Let me qualify my statements by saying my knowledge base is not deep and I would not be able to so any of this unassisted. However, my reply does get the dialogue started.

thanks though i'm pretty sure i could split coils using a 5 way switch... some ibanez guitars do it and i'm pretty sure i remember fender doing a tele that had a similar switching configuration only reversed (the humbucker was in the neck position and the single coil was in the bridge)

sorry for the double post but i think i found it... at least i know it's possible but i don't like the looks of all those capacitors all i need to do is follow this and switch the pickups right???

i'm not big on the third position of this diagram either... i want the humbucker coils working in paralell and working in series with the jazzmaster pup... any suggestions???
