Is it possible to split the Neck pickup with this wiring?

Hi, I've bough a 5-way switch 2502N used for H/H Ibanez and I wired my Ibanez (Tone Zone + Air Norton) to have this:

1. Bridge
2. Bridge split + Neck split
3. Bridge + Neck
4. Neck parallel
5. Neck

And I've added a tone push/pull and I can split the bridge. I want to use the same push/pull to split the neck too but I don't know where to wire it.
Here's my modified wiring, can anyone help me doing what I need?

I just want that on tone push/pull I can split bridge and neck. I can have this with normal 5 way switch but not with this configuration.


Thanks!

Not easily. The problem is the 2nd position where the two neck coils are in parallel. If you had the coil tap push-pull engaged when you selected the neck-in-parallel position on the 5-way you'd end up with no output.

You could rewire the neck coil tap to work on the parallel-coils position as a 'coil disconnect' rather than a traditional coil cut, but the neck pickup would go dead any time you selected a position that used the full neck humbucker mode (ie positions 3 and 5) and you left the coil tap engaged, which creates more pickup selection headaches than the first option.
