Is this correct?

This being my first wireing layout, I figured I'd run it past you all to see if there are any mistakes, suggestions, warnings, or better ideas. I'll be using a 5 position, 4 pole switch:

AB (humbucker, bridge) C (single coil, neck)

1: C

2: B and C in parallel (strat-ish sound)

3: A and C in series (Brian Mays-ish sound, maybe out of phase?)

4: A (Tapped, maybe AB with a cap in series to fatten it up?)

5: AB

I'm also up for pickup reccomendations. I'm looking for a good bluesy strat pickup for the neck, and a hot yet vintagy humbucker for the bridge. I usually use Seymore Duncan, but I've heard Tom Anderson pickups are also very nice.

Thanks!

Looks like it works as planned - don't see any problems. Really nice drawing, BTW - how you do dat?

Hey, thanks for checking for me, I appreciate it!

I just used photoshop to do it. I also have a dingbat font that is nothing but electronic bits and pieces, its called Carr Electronic Dingbats. You can probably find it at DaFont if you are interested.

Thanks again!

The only thing I might add is a DPDT switch to reverse the phase on C before it goes to the 5-way switch - maybe a push/pull pot. That would give you two more very useful options, and you'd still have everything you have presently.

You know. Thats so simple to do, I may just go for it. I was aiming for a level of simplicity for controlls, but a two way switch would be unabtrusive, especially if I had a push/pull on the volume.

Thanks for the idea. Any pickup sugestions? I've got a couple of Seymore Duncans picked out, but if theres something else out there you think is worth a look, let me know!

EDIT:

I am withdrawing my suggestion.

Which was?
