Strat/Les Paul...2 in 1 schematic.

Hello,
I'm looking for opinions on the attached wiring schematic. Could you point out possible flaws?

I have a coil splitting option which selects the two outer coils. When the Phase reversing toggle switch is pushed with the coil splitting it will switch to the two inner coils.

In 'Strat Mode' the 5-way selector switch acts like a standard strat, with coil splitting and phase reversing options like above.

In 'Les Paul Mode' Only the hum buckers are used. I have two seperate volumes for Neck and Bridge as in a Les Paul.

The volumes are wired in a decoupled configuration so that if one is turned all the way down, it does not ground the output and kill the other one too. Will this give more treble cut as the pot is decreased?

Any observations would be apreciated.
 
Wow, it's "super complicated wiring month" here at UW forum! Welcome, I'm sure someone else can help you, I'm a bit burned out on these schematics at the moment.  :icon_thumright:

Seriously!  I'd have trouble remembering what all these switches did unless they were labeled. :laughing7:

That is a cool idea you have though got to admit.
 
I am planning on having push pull pots. I dont think i made this clear.

Volume 1 push/pull would do phase reversing for the bridge...it also does volume for the bridge in les paul mode...easy to remember!
Volume 2 push/pull would do phase reversing for the neck...it also does volume for the neck in les paul mode...easy to remember!
Master Tone push/pull for coil splitting.

There will be only one toggle switch to go between 'Les Paul mode' and 'Strat Mode' so it will look like my strat ultra...i dont want loads of switches jutting out of the guitar!!
It should work but it's my first time doing this so i dont want to overlook anything!
I think that it will be simple to remember what is what.

Anyway...give me a shout if you have any sugestions...i'm just a simple Irishman in need of direction :guitarplayer2:
