I am trying to install 3 humbuckers in a flying-v (copy) for a guy, and can't find any schematics that will work for this. I only have room for 3 pots, right now it's set up as a vol, vol, tone. I may be able to get a push/pull in there.

I am using a standard LP style toggle switch, and would like each position to be for each pickup. Is it possible to have a volume for the neck, and one for the bridge and middle?

I've also been asked if it's possible to just wire the middle along with the bridge, so the hot lead for the middle would go where the bridge goes. Is that possible?

Thanks,

How about this:

Wire the bridge and neck pickups to the switch, amp; wire one of the volumes as a master vol. Wire the middle pickup to the other volume, amp; feed it to the output of the switch at the master volume. Then you can fade the middle pickup in amp; out.

Yep, that's pretty much what I ended up going with. Used a standard humbucker wiring with 1 volume, 1 tone, then just added the 'blender' scenario from the tele schematic. Works perfectly, thanks!

Cool. How about a picture?

Might be possible, but unless they want it 3 position per pickup, I'd recommend instead using a 5-way strat-style switch. More logical.
Also, this is my preference, but I'd say one master volume, one master tone, not push/pull, and wire a single switch to control split/normal, like a DPDT on/off/on, but more like a TPDT (like DPDT is basically two SPDT, but get a TPDT, if they make 'em), so that you split them all, or don't split them all, etc. You can piece together other schematics for all this and make it work. But hey, that's just my preference.
As for one position for one pickup, you might need a special switch. Wiring middle with bridge, that's not hard to do. Just have one pickup feed into the other if you have to.

Will do. I'll see if I can get a couple pics up here sometime.

Thanks!
