EDIT: Rudimentary knowledge of electric guitars will be extremely beneficial for anybody trying to help me!
Recently I've become interested more and more in music and specifically electric guitars. So I went out and got one at Christmas, I'm still only meh, but it allowed me to start my next project... Building my own electric guitar with a custom body and custom pickups. I've ordered all the electronics and hardware I'm going to need for this guitar and here's where I need a little help. I'm going to be using a custom H/S/H pickup pattern on this guitar and I was wondering if it would be possible to wire a standard 5-way CRL switch in a non-standard way.
Normally the switch would be wired as
Bridge
Bridge/Middle
Middle
Middle/Neck
Neck
I would like to have mine be wired for
Bridge
Bridge/Middle
Bridge/Neck
Neck/Middle
Neck
Thereby eliminating the middle single coil, I know this wiring is possible with a Megaswitch S-Model but I am uncertain if it is possible to do this custom wiring with this more standard switch.
The wiring diagram I am using for everything but the switch is located HERE
Sorry if I'm a little confusing or anything, just ask if you would like some clarification. Any help given will be rewarded with a thanks
