Splitting a bucker with a 3 way

Can someone give me the wiring so when using a traditional 3 way and bucker it gives this:
1 - north coil
2 - both coils
3 - south coil

Thanks

Someone will probably be able to advise you how to adapt that to a three-way, should be a very simple matter.

This single coil diagram will work if you pretend that each pickup is actually one of your humbucker coils.

Thats how I got the idea, but ten bucks say that the AL is using an import switch (I'm wanting a diagram for my CRL spring switch)

if you wanted both coils in parallel, the wiring should be the same as a regular tele 3-way switch.

You could also use a standard tele 4-way switch wiring for both series and parallel.

I remember seeing a wiring diagram for 2 pickups in series on a standard 3-way but i can't seem to find it.

Series on a standard 3-way

Do you want the middle throw to be series or parallel? I'll draw it up for you...

I drew up a series/shunt/parallel option for a humbucker on a standard 3-way a few years ago and I THINK I posted it. AFAIC, that would be more fun than your one coil or the other idea - I'll see if I can find it.

edit:
Yup, here it is:
Humbucker and a 3-way
