I have a new (new?) to get a huge tonal variety ot of three pickups:

ok so this would be what its like:

a strat set up two single coils in the neck and middle and a humbucker in the middle. The difference is that the two single coils and the hb pup are on different circuits.

The two singles would be on a jazz master setup (master tone and volume with pickup selector plus rythm/lead switch with programmable v/t rhythm thumbwheels. The humbucker works with one 5 way rotary switch and a master volume and tone, and also has a kill switch (simple two way mini switch). Now i know this can all be fit into one pickguard but the only issue is the input jack? how could i connect both circuits into a single jack without fading the energy too much? Or is it not possible would it have to have two inputs?

I was thinking maybe just sodering the lead wires of both circuits on the end and then just sodering that joint to the jack.

What do you guys think??

I think if you do it the way you posted that you will have both circuits live at the same time. You need some sort of switch between the 2 circuits if you are going to use one input jack to feed both. If you want them to be completely separate with no bleedoff then you need to add a second input jack.
