If you're talking about wanting to switch each pickup's coils between series (the standard humbucker setting) and parallel then that is something else entirely, and a different configuration to the one you originally posted.
Ok, am really appreciating your help, i usually just copy the schematics and rely on the person who drew them. So to reiterate,
1)on the Seymour Duncan scheme i posted, the tone series /parallel pot doesnt switch the neck and bridge humbuckers from series to parallel separately, just both together?
2) or does the master blade 3 way switch have an effect on the series/parallel push pull when it is engaged in parallel mode? (up)
3)So the advantage of bypassing the switch would be power going directly from the humbuckers straight to the jack output, a clean more raw sound?

Sorry to be a pain but this is my first wiring job on a guitar. This is a huge learning curve for me...
