my parts from stewmac have finally gotten here, and i'm ready to tackle my project. i've got an HH strat (the neck pickup is actually a p90, but it's got 2 rows of pole pieces like a humbucker). i'm starting to think i should have ordered a gibson-style 3 way switch instead of a blade switch. i can't seem to find a wiring diagram that gives me what i'm looking for. i'm new to wiring, so if i've missed anything or there's something i should see i'd really appreciate you bringing it to my attention :icon_biggrin:
anyway, here's what i'd like to do.
i feel like this is best for me, i'd get a single coil sound out of my humbucker at the bridge, a good true single coil sound for the p90, and 3 great combinations for the pickups. i've also only got a volume, no tone knob. finding a diagram for just one volume is a little difficult. like i said, any help is appreciated!
thanks again,
Jay
EDIT: this is the 5 way i've ordered.

EDIT 2: this was on the instruction page of the link i posted.
2 humbuckers
Point # Wire assignment
1 empty
2 neck pickup hot wire
3 output to volume pot
4 ground to volume pot
5 neck pickup coil tap
6 bridge pickup coil tap
7 bridge pickup hot wire
my only issue is i don't have a coil tap at all. what would positions 5 and 6 end up being for me?
