Hi - this information must be on this forum somewhere, but I've been unable to find it. Could someone please point me to a basic wiring diagram for an HSH Strat with 1 Volume knob, 2 Tone knobs, and a 5-way switch? The basic functionality is: Position 1 - Bridge Humbucker Position 2 - Middle Single and Bridge Single (humbucker split) Position 3 - Middle Single Position 4 - Middle Single and Neck Humbucker Position 5 - Neck Humbucker
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I could also use advice as to what pots and caps to use as well.
Here are the pickups I'll be using: Bridge - DiMarzio Megadrive, Middle - DiMarzio True Velvet, Neck - DiMarzio - Cruiser.
Thanks!

Here you go, buddy. I've left the tones like so because I don't know which pickups you'd want them to work on. Just solder them to the same place on the switch to the respective pickup wires go. (Red for neck or bridge and white for middle). Also I'd personally use a .047 cap and 250k Pots. Even for a strat with humbuckers, some may prefer 500k.

Hey, thanks, jbales! Really appreciate the info. As far as the tone pots, I'll wire the one closest to the neck to the neck pickup, and the other to the bridge pickup.
So, the configuration you drew up will split the bridge humbucker in position 2?
