I'd thought fer sure that I'd posted this design before, but can't find it. (I know that I did because someone loved the reference handle that I used.) The original post has apparently been deleted.
Nah, found it. Here it is
This is a mini toggle based design suitable for a Strat, Tele, or any three single coil pickup guitar. It can also be used with humbuckers, any series/parallel/splitting of the humbucker is external to this circuit.
I did the first instance in a MIN Deluxe Nash Power Tele. This had 8 mini toggle switches; from the top row left they are:
Piezo phase, Structure Drive, Middle phase, Neck phase,
from the bottom row left they are:
Mag/Both/Piezo, Bridge Ser/Off/Par, Middle on/off, Neck Ser/Off/Par.
The drawing actually shows how it might be laid out in a Strat.
It won't do the M*(B+N) or M+B*N combo's, but will do all others including B*(M+N) and B*M+N. Note that series requires two pickups in that mode or nothing happens (Neck and Bridge or one of either and Middle ON). The middle pickup is in parallel when ON unless one or both of the other pickups are in series, in that case, it's in series with them when ON. When the neck or bridge is off, the respective coil is shorted This can be alleviated with the usage of different (as in $10 more expensive) switches.
