Calling Wiring gurus!

Hi, this is going to be another one of those annoying posts about wiring but I was wondering if anybody could help.
Basically I'm running two tappable humbuckers into two volume pots one tone pot and a blade/lever style 3-way switch. Only difference is that the two volume pots are push/pull with the intention of having individual coil tapping for each pickup, can anybody point me in the direction of a good diagram? All the ones I have found seem to suggest that the push/pull part of the circuit is kept separate from from the vol pots, which isn't what I'm after at all.
Cheers

The drawings showing the push-pulls as seperate switches are drawn that way to simplify the drawing, and work just fine whether you're using push-pull pots or seperate switches. Look at the drawing you're using, and just imagine in your mind's eye that the switch is attached to the back of the pot, rather than elsewhere on the pickguard.

Yup. That's how it works. Just cause the switch and the pot are part of the same component doesn't mean the functions are related. So just go with it.

As noted above, push-pull pots are actually two discrete components, mechanically ganged together for convenience. The push-pull section is actually a switch, while the potentiometer--the pot--is a variable resistor. They are really no different in basic function or basic construction than your old tube radio or TV that combined the on-off switch with the volume control knob.

Thanks guys, as far as chaining it all all together I'm thinking pups to each volume pot, then volume pots to switch then switch out to tone and then jack?

1. The tone pot is in parallel, this might just be sloppy wording on your part but it's not in series like you suggest
2. There are two ways to do a coil split. 1 is that the switch selects where the grounding point is. So the 2nd coil hot is sent to the vol pot, and either the 1st or 2nd coil negative is grounded. The other way is the 1st coil negative is grounded, and either the 2nd or 1st coil positive is sent to the volume pot. This depends on which coil you want to be active in split mode

Just to keep our facts straight, let's call this coil splitting. Coil splitting is when you only use one of a humbucker's two coils. Cool tapping is when you take a single coil pickup and can choose to use more or less of the coil (for example a pickup measuring 8k that's been tapped at 6k).

I agree

Thanks for that, I wasn't even aware there was a distinction between the two terms, I just assumed it was one of those things called by a different name either side of the Atlantic.

This.
