That was my original idea for the 5 pickup positions. I’m no wiring genius what so ever.. was wondering, would 3x vol/tone push/pull and a master vol work? So I have a tone for each pup and use the master vol, and then if I want all 3 on but want to mould the sound use the volumes for each pup plus master for overall level?! And then also have the switch for the pickup variations when on tone?! Am I crazy? Haha

Sounds feasible, a bit like explorer or V setup with an additional volume control.

So I’ve fixed the pickups in place. Everything else is just seated, she’s going to look like such a beast when she’s done! P.s the Husband got me a nice hard case for her, for my birthday! Winning!

That looks pretty awesome! Well done!

What about the fretboard, are you going to stain it darker?

Most stains will penetrate almost anything! If not, just give it a rub with 400 sandpaper to loosen up the fibres.

I think the best option for a 3 humbucker layout is to add a 2nd 3-way toggle which allows you to switch the middle pup in by itself or with any combo of the others. But, that would require drilling a new hole for the extra toggle switch and risk your finish.

To keep just the current controls, you're probably better off having a volume for each pickup and a master tone. The volume for the middle pup can either just 'blend' it with the other pups or be a push/pull so you can switch it in/out of the circuit.
