    Gav will be currently scratching his goolies and furiously researching on the interwebs. Be prepared for a ripper answer to your question

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Looks like red is hot and black is ground for your humbuckers, with white and green joined for the series coil connection.

    So, to coil split your humbuckers all you need to do is run a wire from the white/green join to the centre pin of your push/push switch and a ground connection to one outer switch pin on the same side. That will ground out one coil giving you a single coil output. Repeat the process to the other push/pull for the other humbucker you want to split. Basically, it would be the same as your diagram above but with switched grounds connected to the green/white joins on two of your humbuckers.

    You should be able to use any wiring diagram (Seymour Duncan, Guitar Electronics etc) as long as you can identify and match up which colours are hot, ground etc.

    Looking at the IronGear website, they have other diagrams of switched humbucker arrangements - you could look to bastardise one of those and get a hybrid... They've done what Scott recommends above with the white/green going to the centre of a switch...

    Hi MB69

    What are u wanting from your 3 way switch in terms of activating these? I'm thinking you might be better off with DTDP switches to activate the split coils? Let me know.

    To keep it simple, you can just look at one pickup at a time, like this Seymour Duncan diagram.

    In the Seymour Duncan diagram, the red/white wires are the series join for the coils, where as they are green/white in the diagram in your post above. So, all you need to do is solder your green/white join to the centre lug of the push/pull pot switch and a ground to the bottom lug (as it is shown in the Seymour Duncan diagram), and you're done for that pickup. With that wiring when you pull the pot up it will ground out one coil giving a single coil pickup. Do the same thing for your other pickup and you are done. You don't need to make any other changes to your original wiring diagram above, unless you want the ability to switch on/off the third pickup etc.

    Is that what you wanted?

    Scott.
