So, with the Tone push/pull down, pulling the Vol up would add the middle to whatever bridge/neck combination is selected by the toggle switch. With the Vol down you just get the bridge/neck toggle output.

With the Tone push/pull up, pulling the Vol up would give you the middle by itself, and Vol down returns to just the bridge/neck toggle output. Quick sketch:

There are lots of different ways of doing the 3 pup setup, it just depends what controls you want and how many holes you’re willing to put in the body.
That is some next level sorcery

Amazing.

I like this and McCreed’s suggestions here. Aesthetically, I don’t really want to add any more complexity. So I’m trying to avoid more holes and conversions. And I’m not so concerned about infinite tone options. But if I’m going to have a HSS, I should put the middle PU to work one way or the other. Neck isolated is more important than Middle isolated, so I think I can get away with the single P/P and be happy. But now I have options
