This particular guitar is for me and wiring Neven talking about is my requirement, so I guess I can explain the best what I really want.
To make long story short, for most of my playing I need two single (p90, that is) pickups with standard 3 way switching and few volume and tone pots, just like on p90 LP or telecaster, but I would like to have it with some cool features like treble and bass cut pots in place of standard tone pots, which is why I opted for Mcquain wiring Neven provided above. That one will fulfil my needs, I am pretty much covered with it considering music I play, apart for "rock style" leads which also make important part of my performances.
In order to deal with that, I decided to have standard humbucker in the bridge position which DO NOT interfere with two p90 wiring. I do not want to make things even more messy by making humbucker part of the wiring. All I really want is to have dpdt switch that brings humbucker on and shut off whatever is dealt before with p90 wiring.
That way I can instantly go from bluesy - pop comping to full blast distorted solo with a flick from a switch, which is exactly what music I play dictate.
And of course, come back to what I dealt before by switching humbucker off.
Only thing I am not quite sure is should I go with volume pot dedicated for this humbucker or not. I am open for suggestions about this one.
Thanks guys again for having eye on this thread, I appreciate it so much!
