Looks good to me, except for your "To fix hanging hot" wire instruction. If you connect Middle 2 to Top C, in Position "2" your Neck Pickup will be shorted. That "fixing" wire should be from Top 1 to Middle C, Middle 1 or Middle 2. Nothing else. With the correction added I decided throw these up on the modules section: guitarnuts2.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=modules&thread=5898

Hi all. I've been a bit burned out lately but I've finally found the time to get back to guitar wiring and this great forum. Yay! Did I miss anything? I need some confirmation on an addition to my previous scheme. I want to add an SPST for choosing between regular BxN and 'BxN tone on B'. I'm thinking this requires two leads coming from the SPST, going to where the position 2 connects between the bottom poles at the pickup selector. Does this seem correct? EDIT: Here's a drawing of what I'm talking about:

Welcome back Roady, good to see you again.
How did we miss that your hanging-hot fix was missing? For a start, you need a connection between top tier 1 and middle tier 1.
As you've drawn it, your SPDT will only work as a Kill Switch. It interrupts the signal from output - which I'm presuming is still the red wire - to the main signal, i.e. middle tier 1 or 2.
You will need a SPDT to switch between "BxN" and "BxN with Tone on Bridge." The switch has to select between "tone on main" and "tone on bridge."

The hanging-hot fix works like that, I hadn't thought of that.
As for the SPDT, unfortunately not.The "common" connection should be to bottom tier 3. Then one switch 'throw' goes to middle tier common, and the other 'throw' goes to bottom tier 1, 2 or 3.
There still needs to be a connection between middle tier 2 and bottom tier 2.
That should give you what you're asking for.

I redrew according to your instructions: Could I make the SPDT double as an Neck only "no-load" switch like so?

I wasn't clear enough. This is how you achieve a switch between "Bridge Tone Control" and "Master Tone Control." I'm not sure what you're looking for when you say "no-load" switch. Care to elaborate? Cheers

For position 4 I'd like the SPDT to remove the tone control. My guess: bottom tier - remove connection 2&4, connect 3&4

I guess it's like they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut, if I may say so. I should really read up on switches and pots are still mysterious to me. I try to remember what ashcatlt told me once about thinking of a pot as a SPDT center-off. Maybe one day it'll sink in. ;D
Big thanks asmith!
