Greetings friends,

I have a jaguar that I'd like to rewire in this style (refer to attached picture).

Basically its like a lespaul (2 tone and 2 volume) but without a 3 way switch, switching pickup option will be controlled with "lead circuit" where you can turn on/off individual pickup. "Lead/rhythm" switch becomes a dummy.

Is this possible to be done? I've tried cracking my head the entire day rewiring it but to no avail.

Your help is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

I've also attached the draw up for the wiring i tried. It doesnt work as I'd like it to.

Cool idea using the rollers for tones. I'm not sure why you'd want to cut mids from Jaguar pickups, but to each their own.

To get independent volume and tone knobs I think you have to route the pickups to their respective volume/tone BEFORE the master mid cut (I'm not familiar with mid cut switches, but this is how you'd do it for say a master volume).

So you'd wire it like: pickups ---> volumes ---> tones ---> on/off switches ---> mid switch ---> output

Thank you very much for the swift response and advice ☺️ I drew up a diagram from what was recommended, would this be what you were referring to?

Yes that’s how I was seeing it. I think that is correct, maybe someone else can chime in and confirm
 
Your second diagram is close to what you want, but the mid cut switch needs more work. As it stands, you will have either output with a mid-cut or no output.
