    Glad you found the wiring plan helpful ;-)

    You can put the push-pull switch on any of the pots but it will be easiest to put it on the bridge pup's volume pot because that's where the hot lead from the pup is going anyway. I would find it most intuitive.

    It's really simple to wire the push pull. Normally these switches have 6 lugs, 3 on each side. You will only use two lugs on one side (doesn't matter which side).

    Find the two leads from the pickup that are soldered together. Solder these to one of the top lugs (lug closest to the pot). Both leads get soldered to this lug--you don't need to unsolder them. Solder a ground wire to the middle lug on the same side. That's it!

    With the switch "down" the pup will function as a normal humbucker. With the switch "up" you will only be using the north coil.
