Nope, not listening...

A CRL or Grigsby style 3-way would work, ie. it needs to have two separate poles. One side would have the bridge hot across two lugs, then the neck hot on the third lug and the output on the common. The other side would have the bridge series link on the middle lug and a ground connection on the common. That should give you:
1. bridge humbucker
2. bridge split
3. neck

Or, you could just wire it up like a standard Tele and add a push/pull to split the bridge when needed. Multi-pole 4 and 5-way switches will give you other options, depending on what combos you want.

Hi Scott, are you referring to the usual Oak Grigsby style 4 way that is quite often used in Tele's to get neck & bridge in series? Could one of those be used in reverse so that in one position the Bridge HB is in series with itself and on the next just one of the coils? Or would 5 way be better and also offer up parallel out of phase on the Bridge PUP too?

My first thoughts would have been push/pull for the Bridge split and also do the traditional 4 way switch mod too as that gives so many more options and not that complicated.
