Fat Strat Wiring Help - Two Humbuckers

[Rones]

Hi

I am putting a couple of humbuckers into a strat pickguard I have that accepts them. I understand how to wire if they were with a 4 way conductor lead wire, but they have the vintage push back wire.

How does this sound? I ran the lead wires, grounding the braid, to the first two positions of the selector switch. I beleive I will only get to use the first 3 postions. In essence just position 1 neck, 2 blend, 3 bridge. (When I turned it on, no sound, maybe a wire came undone or something. Not sure, it was too late to try to fix it!. I think it will work!)

Does this sound alright? Or any better ideas. I can't find a diagram in the schematics section to aid me.

Thanks for all the help

Personally, I'd unwrap the coils and split both of them, then you've got a ton of options.

As is you only really got a 3-way, phasing is not going to have that much effect with humbuckers so reversing phase to get a differet option is pointless.
