Relating to my buildout of this bad boy: http://unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=23303.0

I'm still slightly up in the air on the wiring scheme.

As far as the 5way switch, I'm planning on doing classic B/B+M/M/M+N/N wiring

I'm basically sold on a Volume/PTB scheme for my pots, but I have a push/pull available, and I'm waffling as to whether to do:

A) Activate bridge pickup to get B+N and B+M+N options
B) Blower switch - Bridge (or Neck - since it's a Bari) direct to output jack
C) True Coil tap, running tap directly to ground
D) Faux coil tap, running the tap through a capacitor to ground
E) Series/Parallel/Phase

All of which I have used at one point or another in one of my other guitars

I have a Megaswitch at hand if there are other super-duper options that I'm not thinking of that could use a DPDT and the options available there... and I'm not averse to placing an order for more Push/Pull pots if there's a killer mod I'm missing.

Barring anything compelling, I'm planning on option A.
 
For B, and a humbucker ideally you would need a 4PDT.

Personally I think A is probably the most useful with the parts you have.
 
Since it's a rear route I would just wire the standard 5-way and then use jumpers to try out the other options to see what's worthwhile with that particular guitar.

That's a good idea as well... I'm so used to having to work with pickguard mounted gear where you have to decide before assembly...
 
Since I had to place an order for some other stuff for some other guitars that need a little work, I'm getting another P/P pot so that I can do both Option A, and then experiment on whether C or D sound better

Thx for the feedback.
