Help with Fender Lead III clone wiring mod

[ChristoMephisto]

Scored a pair of real Seth Lover Wide Range humbuckers like those found in the Lead series and plan on putting them in a dark red Squier Bullet 20th Ann. Special. Even has the 60's style soft 'c' profile neck.

Currently has the one hum/one vol, so after a few additions of switches and tone pot, gonna try the Lead I with single hum and the original wiring of N,N+B,B, and series (errr top coil, parallel, bottom coil and humbucker) Just to actually hear if there is a difference. And to give the pup a test run

After some routing and p/g modification, I'll throw the neck humbucker in and rewire it.
The switches on the Lead III are the pup selector and coil tap either of the pups, but not both at once. They use a DP3T on-on-on switch with a short fat toggle. Gives you a total of seven sounds, useful, but boring.
Over at GM Arts, he shows a couple ideas for two humbuckers with only one spdt toggle, and thought of using the tap switch for two of those mods. The first being Out of Phase - Humbucker which gives SOoP and bridge sc, or both together.
The other I'm not sure about, but sounds interesting is Tap Link, or coil swapping.

Anybody got any ideas for some wiring mods? Want to try to keep it limited to just the two toggles and the same looking too, so even a 4P3T is an option, altho pricey at $25

Just bought the pups and two dp3t last night, so it'll be a bit til they get here, but like to plan ahead.

CM-

I've been staring at that "tap" switch drawing and I'll be darned if I can figure it out. Looks to me like it would just give you one coil from each pup, rather than "a bit of neck mixed with the bridge".

No ideas for you off the top of my head, but if you do spring for the 4P3T I believe you could get:

Br SC / Br SC + Neck SC / Neck SC

All on one switch.

Thanx for the reply.

Thats what's the 'tap' switch is suppose to do, swapping coils is a better description than 'a bit of neck mixed with the bridge'
Not sure how it would sound with two of the same pups. The Lead series didn't use neck or bridge pups, they used the same pup for both.

I'm guessing your suggesting local parallel for both pups using a 4p3t switch. Thought of that, using 2 poles for each pup, could also use hum/top coil/par or hum/bottom coil/par wiring.

Liked the simplicity of the other one, the OoP - Humbucker, when in the neck position, you go straight to SOoP.
I've done the Broadbucking concept with a tele and two sc, but didn't have a chance to try it out with two hums. Really liked it, maybe I'll figure something out if I stare at the multiple schems and diagrams for it.

Also a question about the pot and cap values, 250k and a .047uf cap?? Sounds dark, wondering if they are holding something back. ;D
