Welcome a'board.  To confirm what you are asking for: Pickups; Neck mini-humbucker - is this single conductor with shield? Middle - assumed to be two wire like a Strat pickup with no shield. Bridge - assumed to be two wire like a Strat pickup with no shield. Is the bridge a single coil? You want the following combinations; neck and bridge neck and middle middle and bridge all three together This is only four combinations. You state "no phase reversal or parallel" Do you mean "no parallel" (the way that Strat pickups are normally switched), or "no series"? This is parallel; ____OUT ( ( pickup "A" ( (____GND ____OUT ( ( pickup "B" ( (____GND This is series; ____OUT ( ( pickup "A" ( (__ __| ( ( pickup "B" ( (____GND You indicate a "superswitch 5 2 pole". Superswitches normally are 4 pole 5 throw. Do you really just have a 2 pole 5 throw lever switch? Are you sure that it is not the regular Fender Strat lever switch? |

I asked about series or parallel since IT IS important. If you want switching the same as the G&L does (where pickups are combined in parallel), then this is easy. You NOW state that you want; neck alone neck and middle bridge and neck middle and bridge bridge alone If you are willing to spend about $20 to save about 2 hours wiring time, there is a switch that already does this. It is the Mega Switch "E" from StewMac. These switches, made by Schaller of Germany, have the best mechanical "feel" IMHO. |

If it is any use, the neck and bridge option can easily be gaind at the cost of one of the 'x' and middle options-
Just switching the output leads of either neck or bridge with the middle one will give the neck and bridge option, but lose the mix between middle and whichever pickup wasn't swapped.
That is how I wired my Nashville Tele, and now I have neck, neck-bridge, bridge, bridge-middle and middle.
Thats not exactly what you asked for, but is an extremely easy and cheap option which will get you much of the way there.
Another choice is to add a switch or push-pull pot to add the neck (or bridge instead) to any selection, leaving the five original options, plus bridge-neck and all three. That, and any other switches, however, are for more the knowledgable electricians here to tell you about far better than I could!
