Hi!

I want to build a double neck start with HSH on both necks. I want to use the wiring diagram I've attached on both necks but I don't have any idea how to do that on a double neck. All I can find on the Internet is wiring for the Gibson double neck. Can someone help me out?

With double necks having an HSH scheme like that on both necks would be extremely difficult to fit onto a Strat style DN. Given that double necks in general are a sort of compromise, it might be better to begin with why you want those configurations for both necks and consider what the actual use case for the guitar is. Then decide whether that needs an HSH in both necks or something else.
 
Personally, I would only use the 12 string in a clean voicing, so I would probably opt for either some very underwound humbuckers or some single coils. Since I’m an EMG guy, I would likely opt for the 58 (P90 voicing) in either both positions, or swap the neck with a Tele Neck. I tend to thing that the dual 58’s would balance the jangle of the 12 string voicing and just leave the switch in the center position all the time for both pickups straight out.
 
I guess I could've said that it's going to be two six string necks, one for standard tuning, the other for alternate tunings, primarily Gambale tuning.
