Hi,
I'm thinking of rewiring my HSH Ibanez a bit to make it even more versatile. It has 1 volume, 1 tone and a 5 way blade, the humbuckers are hot but I'm gonna change out the single soon as it sucks.
I'm thinking to put a push pull volume pot in that coil splits both humbuckers in all 5 positions.
I was also originally thinking that I would have a tone push pull to add the neck pickup (wether HB or SC, depending on volume pushpull state) to positions 1 and 2.
Are there any wiring diagrams that anyone has to do this kind of setup as I can't find any or is it too complex and stupid, etc etc... Let me know what you think.
My current switch setup:
5- Neck HB
4- Neck HB (split inner coil) + Middle SC
3- Middle SC
2- Bridge HB (split inner coil) + Middle SC
1- Bridge HB
Also, while I'm making a post, if there are any good strat single sounding pups you'd recommend for the middle, let me know!
Really appreciate any help,
Tom

Difficult to recommend a specific replacement selector switch without knowing how much space is available in the guitar to accommodate it. OTAX and Schaller both offer 24-contact Superswitches on a single thickness PCB.
Finally, do you need the replacement middle pickup to be noise-cancelling in its own right?
Noise cancelling would be cool but it depends on price, if there is a better sounding pup for the same price I'd go for that. there are just so many that I'll start looking at them and give up after 5 minutes ahah
Cheers

With some lower priced Ibanez HSH guitars, the chief problem is that the pickups themselves are not very good. The switching is a secondary consideration.
