    Ah gotcha. The N- is drawn splitting in the diagram just to make it clear which switch lugs it needed to connect to, otherwise it was too messy to see clearly with just a pencil drawing. The N- just...

    The Kwik Plug leads can have 2, 3, 4, or 5 wires, depending on what’s supplied with the pickup. The images on GFS still show Lil’ Punchers with 5 conductor Kwik Plugs so it should be a valid option,...

    Use at own risk: thinning a PBG neck.

    (for what it’s worth, that neck is still straight and playing nicely)

    The second diagram is pretty what I was thinking.

    If you connect the yellow output from the middle lug of the Neck volume direct to the 3-way lug along with the multi-core yellow, then you can...

    A parallel/series in/out phase set of options would normally be perfect for the Free-Way Ultra switch. It’s a two row 3-way, giving you 6 positions, which would do everything you want all in a...

    A 4-pole On/On mini-toggle, if you can get one with enough thread, would probably the simplest overall fixed series solution. Especially when it comes to stuffing the wiring through the f-hole.

    There is one other possibility I should mention, but it only applies if you want a single fixed series configuration with one pickup out of phase(polarity).

    If this is the case, the you could...

    As usual, Simon has covered all the important stuff about running humbuckers in series. The only thing I'd add is that Mathew also wants to use vintage tone wiring which complicates it further as...
