For example, in the first position, the north side of the neck pickup must be sent to the hot signal and the south side to ground. At the same time, the dummy coil must be engaged and the bridge pickup disengaged. In the middle position, the south side of the neck pickup must be hot and the north side grounded with the dummy coil disengaged and the north side of the bridge hot with the south side ground. There's just a lot going on.

But what were the "many functions" that John wanted? And is there any chance of posting the final wiring diagram, just in case some other adventurous soul wants to try this kind of soldering madness at home? Hey, nice MacGyvering!
