Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get my American Special wired up with a humbucker in the bridge. I would like to install a 3 way switch with position one just the humbucker, position two the middle strat position (middle and neck pickup together), and position three for just the neck. I would like a master volume and two tone pots. One pot for single coils and the other for the humbucker. I'll be compromising with the humbucker and using one 500k for the tone and it'll be linked to the 250k master volume. I'll probably use standard value tone caps for each respective pickup. The pickups will be texas specials on top and a nickel covered SD Pearly Gates in the bridge. I'm pretty excited about this setup but I was hoping someone could look over my wiring schematic and make sure I've got everything wired up correctly. I'll have a link on the bottom for said schematic. Thank you!

Not many guitars configured like this, do you plan on using the middle pup for anything?
The old tie die model is sorta close, but uses a different switch as do most HSS models.
Heres a link to that model,

Seems to me like you have it sorted out in your diagram, but you may have to trial and error much like any of us.
