Which mini switches for coil splitting?

What's Hot
For the Sambora inspired thing, it will be three humbucker and the Jersey star has two mini switches to split the humbuckers, what mini switches do I need.

Would it be easiest to go with three mini switches, one for each pickup? Im thinking JB at bridge and middle and a Jazz at the neck, same as the Jersey Star .or similar if I can get home grown......

    Depends whether you require individual pickup splittage or a single switch to split all three simultaneously.

    For the latter, a 4PDT on/on switch would do the job.

    If you want to split all three pickups at once with a single switch you can do it with just a SPDT (or even a SPST!), but you need to rewire the pickup selector and tone controls as well.
