I checked out a number of wiring diagrams on the Fender service section and I can't find anything that covers the setup I'm trying to get.

I have Seymour Duncan pickups as follows:

Neck - APS1 single coil 2 wire
Middle - APS1 single coil 2 wire
Bridge - Pearly Gates Humbucker 4 wire.

I have a 500k volume pot and two 250k tone pots. Tone pot 2 has a .022cap and tone pot 1 has a .047 cap.

I'm using a 5 way Super switch.

I'm trying to get the following configuration:

Switch Position's

1 - Bridge Humbucker with tone pot 2
2 - Bridge Humbucker + Middle single coil with tone pot 2
3 - Bridge Humbucker + Middle + Neck single coils with tone pot 2
4 - Middle + Neck single coils with tone pot 1
5 - Neck single coil with tone pot 1

I would suggest a change in your pup combo,
(1) the N/M/B selection is probably going to cancel itself as far as optimal tone..
(2) A dual to single coil switching option for the Bridge HB since it is a 4 wire
(3) N/B ..the bridge as a single coil or dual coil
(4) replacing the Vol. Pot with a Push/Pull will allow you that option
(5) Thus you still have all the options possible with the 5 Way Superswitch

I'm aware that the 5 way Superswitch will give you a single to dual HB but the reason for the
Volume Push Pull is so that you can use the HB in Single or Dual coil mode in any combination with the other pups..

Ask Martian to figure out a Schematic for you, he's the resident Forum Schematic Guru..

I thank you but it is, AndyBigHair who is the, "Resident Forum Schematic Guru".

Notwithstanding, I offered my Fratocaster wiring as an infinitely more versatile (and functional) alternative to which Kluson56 is going to give a shot to. For the curious, here's the diagram which AndyBigHair so graciously and outstandingly transcribed:

Hmmm...The OP does not wish for a single to dual capability with that 4 wire HB.. :?

I know..... :lol: :lol: .... I'm just jesting...

However I have an issue with the Stratopartster III electronics, the more I look at it, the more it becomes a " Where's Waldo " scenario...

Anyhow it is close to the original layout, but I deleted the DPDT switch and instead installed a Push/Pull Volume switch for single to dual coil switch for the bridge Pup, 2 TBX tone pots for all pick ups and a normal 5 way switch...My real issue is hooking up the Push/Pull correctly. :?:

I'll add a pic ... :idea: as well as posting this in my Stratopartster I-II-III thread so as not to hijack the OP"s thread....
