Looking to split the coils on my neck position WRHB by putting a mini toggle (ON/ON, DPDT) between the tone and vol pots. Simply want one position to be the humbucker as-is, the other position to be the split humbucker mode. I realize the wiring would be similar to a push/pull pot, but I'm not completely sure and I don't want to mess this up!

Any links or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This looks right, assuming I'm only using one half of the switch for one pickup only.

Success! Got the switch on there (not without some visible scratches on the plate, of course), but she's up and running. Used a radioshack flat toggle DPDT and wired up just the one side. What I like about the switch is that it can act as a little boost, meaning I can play rhythm with the humbucker split and both pickups selected, then simply un-split it to add the low end/warmth of the full humbucker. Lots of great tone options with this setup, love it.
