I did quite a bit of searching but never quite found what I was looking for... Basically, I have an Alnico II pro bucker in the bridge of my HSS, and it sounds great with the Fender Texas Specials. So right now in the bridge (full humbucker) and middle position on the 5-way, the two pickups are out of phase. I actually really like this tone and think it adds an interested sound to the guitar's arsenal...

So...

Is it possible to wire in a push/pull pot so the pickups would be arranged as follows on the 5-way

Position 1: bridge full
Position 1 Push/Pull Engaged:bridge split
Position 2: Bridge full and middle out of phase
Position 2 Push/Pull Engages: Bridge Split and Middle in phase

Everything is possible.

For better results you'll need a super 5-way switch which allows coil tap/split combinations from the humbucker.

Make sure the humbucker itself employ a 4-conductor cable in order to obtain further tonal options.

+ 1 on the super switch. You may also want to check out one of the Deaf Eddie switches.

Did Deaf Eddie's switches also work with an HHH configuration?
