I'm looking for a wiring diagram with this configuration using a superswitch with a push/pull pot in the tone position:

1. bridge
2. bridge / middle
3. middle
4. middle / neck
5. neck

push/pull tone pot - activate neck

so it has all strat / tele combinations + 3 pickups all at once. I've looked around and can't seem to find any schematics for this setup.

That's how I've got my mutt Nashville set up- can't say I use all seven positions much, though! Mostly bridge, middle, neck, and bridge/neck...I actually wind up using the middle strat pu a lot! Sounds very sweet in my mutt!

A wiring diagram for a G&L Tribute Ascari GTS HB3 should get you close. The push/pull tone knob connects the neck and bridge pickups together which gives you neck+bridge in positions 1 and 5 and all 3 pickups in positions 2 and 4. Note that it also has a mini-toggle for coil tapping the humbuckers which is likely of no interest to you, assuming that you're using single coil pickups.

Do normal Strat wiring, and have hot lead (and if needed the cool lead)of Neck go to p/p potswitch. Am I missing something?

The superswitch is confusing to me, and all the diagrams I can find are for normal 5 way switches.

you have 12345 and a zero . The zero connects to whatever setting the switch is at .
You can do what you want using just two sections...
Connect the two zeros together and also to where the normal switch would go for Hot
Ground all pickups...
Heres where the Hot leads go:

Bridge goes to 1 and 2, Neck to 4 and 5 in one section ...
Middle goes to 2 and 3 and 4 on the other section...
That gives normal Strat settings...
