Thanks a lot for your input timtam, I really do.
Thing is, and I feel really dumb for it, I'm completely useless at decipher electronics wiring and drawn the new one accordingly, I tried to follow your description and the schematics you've posted but, for the life of me, I have no idea on how to translate it.
I can only solder according to a given diagram, nothing more. That's why I included a blank layout on which to drawn the connections between parts as per description.
I do apologies for my lack of expertise on the subject, that's why I've asked for a better help with the drawing.
Somebody check this to confirm:
(The switching should be correct, but I'm not sure on the pots as per usual.)
The brown ones are all ground connections, I did it this way to reduce the amount of lines going everywhere but if you prefer to make all of the ground connections straight to the tone pot go ahead.
I don't know what colour wire is what on whichever humbucker you're using so I just labelled + & - for each coil. You'll have to find out which wire corresponds.
I also wasn't sure if your neck pickup has 2 or 3 wires, so I ordered the series connection as though you only have 2, and drew the 3rd wire on there anyway in case you do have 3. If it isn't, just ignore it.
NOTE: because you have a Jazzmaster 3-way instead of Jag switches, in series mode: neck position is a dead spot, middle & bridge positions are both pickups in series. In parallel mode everything is as should be expected.
Parallel:
Neck only
Neck & Bridge humbucker in parallel / Neck & Bridge single in parallel
Bridge humbucker only / Bridge single only
Series:
Dead
Neck & Bridge humbucker in series / Neck & Bridge single in series
Neck & Bridge humbucker in series / Neck & Bridge single in series
