Hi,

I`m planning my next and 2nd warmoth.
I want to have an H-S-S configuration with a volume and tone know for the 2 single coils and volume and tone know for the humbucker.
Where can I find a wiring diagram for this?
I guess it`s nota very common one.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to see this signal path - the order of things that you want done to the outputs of the pickups. It seems to me that you need a 3-way mini-switch - switching to either or both single coils - to  a volume & tone knob - to the 5-way. And then the HB would have a volume & tone knob to the 5-way, but then why wouldn't that latter switch just be a 3-way? Unless there's some way to wire the output out of the 5-way stereo, to separate V&T setups.

With a superswitch, yes, with a standard switch, no.
 
Connect the output of the humbucker directly to its volume and tone controls and then to one side of the switch.
Connect the common from this side to the output jack.

Use the other side of the switch to select the single coils, then out from the common to their volume control and tone control.
Connect the output of this volume control to the output jack.

This uses the standard 5-way switch.
