I'm putting together a parts-strat for my future bro-in-law and I'm having a bit of problem figuring out the wiring. A while back a friend of mine gave me a tackle box full of old guitar parts, including a couple mini-switches wired together. The control set up is 1 vol, 1 tone, and these 3 mini-switches for the SSH set up. I think I've figured out the switches for the single coils, but the bridge humbucker switch has me confused. Here's what I have so far:

So all that to say, are the mini-switches wired properly? What do I do with bridge switch? The humbucker I have is a 3 wire (red, white, ground).

Thanks! Hope all that makes sense.

...doesn't quite make sense. No wires are shown going to the volume pot. The DPDT switch - obviously for the 'bucker - shows both sides pf the switch tied together. You're not going to be able to coil-split the 'bucker unless you open it up and find the junction of the two coils. Right now it appears that the DPDT is acting as a master on-off switch for the neck & bridge. And after I look at this a moment, it's really totally wrong. There are some excellent wiring schemes available on the 'net if you just look for them. You've got all the parts you need.

I'm guessing you want each toggle to control each pickup?

What did you want to do with the humbucker switch, is it one of those on/on/on switches? Perhaps off/HB/single for that switch?

Could it be that the DPDT switch has 3 positions? Off in the middle, humbucking in one and single coil in the other outer position?
