I rarely use the tone knob so I figure I will let that one go, if I need a tone knob I will mod the Rhythm circuit and replace the 50k tone pot with a 1M one. I'm always been fascinated by Rotary switches and bought a couple when I was dabbling with a Jazzmaster XII. I never put them to use due to no know-how.
I have had a recent spell of energy so I figured I'll put them to use - only to find out:
1. they don't have solder lugs like regular pots
2. they are 2p3t which doesn't solve what I want to do... I have to use them in another project...

My idea:
Let the rotary switch have 3 modes:
1 both pickups in parallell (normal mode)
2 both pickups in series
3 bridge pickup out of phase
The rotary switch will go into the PU selector. I've done the 'both pickups in rhythm circuit'-mod on two JMs and will keep that.
So I've taken two DPDT switch schematics and worked my rotary switch from that. I have no background in electronics so it might be full of errors...
Here's a schematic I've found which is the basis of the Series Mode
So I want to combine the two DPDT schematics for mode 2 and 3
This is my layout for the rotary switch
I think I might have to add a ground to the bridge pickup at some stage.
