6 Position 4 Pole Rotary Switch Wiring

[Daniel Schmolze]

I've got two 4-wire humbuckers and this switch and I'd like to wire them up with one volume and one tone pot as follows:

1 = neck only

2 = bridge only

3 = both in parallel

4 = both in series

5 = both coil-tapped in parallel

6 = both coil-tapped in series

Anyone have any ideas as to how to go about this? Thanks.

Diagram with the essentials.

For the splitted pickup combinations I took the ime better sounding ones.

Positions 1 to 4 are humbucking. It might be a good idea to make 5 and 6 humbucking too, by mounting the neck humbucker with the screw pole pieces towards the bridge. (Normally it's bridge screw pole pieces => bridge and neck screw pole pieces => neck. And assuming both pickups are built equal polarity-wise.)

That seems to work, but positions 1-4 are abnormally low output compared to 5 and 6. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I was just misinterpreting the color codes on my GFS pickups (I think I had them wired out of phase). They're the same as Seymour Duncun's colors, for future reference.
