Hi everyone, I'm from Brazil and I'm building a TSO with a luthier but we are facing a challenge.
This guitar has 3 Joe Barden Pickups, 2 S-Deluxe Neck/Middle and 1 Modern-T bridge.
The challenge came with my desire to have a versatile guitar.
I wish to have all seven pickups combinations plus a series/parallel option when 2 or three pickups are on.
That would give me this:
Neck (1 sound)
Middle (1 sound)
Bridge (1 sound)
Neck/Middle (series/parallel) (2 sounds)
Middle/Bridge (series/parallel) (2 sounds)
Neck/Bridge (series/parallel) (2 sounds)
Neck/Middle/Bridge (series/parallel) (2 sounds)
A total of 11 sounds in one guitar, this is probably too much but it may be nice and even useful.
One of the things is that I don't want my control plate looking like a mess of buttons and pots. I wish (if possible) to have as little visual information as possible.
something like a blade switch ( 3, 4 or 5 depending on the necessity) and two push/pull pots (tone and volume)
Is that possible???
these are similar diagrams, which I found here, that I suppose that are about to solve my "problem":

I'm really sorry for my English, but I'm thankful of any help I can get
