Any wiring gurus that could knock me up a wiring diagram please?....

I currently have a PRS SE single cut that I bought as a kind of test rig guitar, you know, one to mess about with without destroying one of my main guitars. 

I'm about to buy some better pups for it (likely Iron Gears) and what I'd like to do is wire them so that each pick up can be coil split via individual mini toggles (one per pick up). 

So for example when the main selector switch is in the middle position (both pick ups) I could flick the mini toggle for the bridge pick up and be playing on the bridge humbucker with a single coil at the neck. Or the other way around if I so wished (Single at the bridge with hum at the neck).  


So my question is two fold, Is this a total wiring nightmare? and, as the title suggests, is one of you making & modding geniuses able to draw up the wiring diagram for it? Because I'm struggling to get my head round it.  

Cheers all.

Not a nightmare. Just requires patience and the correct tools.

• Does the guitar have two pots or four? 
• In split mode, do you wish to be able to select which coil remains operational?
• For the pickup testbed role, consider investing in the Seymour Duncan Liberator.

Hi, 

Yeah, probably should have mentioned some of that. It has four pots, two Vol, two tone as you'd expect. 

And no, I'm happy to decide which coil it will be before wiring and live with it. 

Thanks Funkfingers.
