    I think this will get you most of what you're looking for:

    http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php/3355

    You'll be able to get a total of 10 different pickup combinations with this wiring mod:

    B
    M
    N
    M-B(p)
    M-B(s)
    N-B(p)
    N-B(s)
    N-M(p)
    N-M(p)-B(s)
    N-M-B(p)

    You won't get middle and neck in series sith this wiring, but I have a Strat wired for that, and I find it less useful than the bridge and neck in series. The bridge & middle in series is my third favorite Strat tone behind the neck by itself, and the bridge & middle in parallel. I think of it as "quack on steroids".....

    Thanks! been eyeing that post you did as well.. but i'm not sure how the wiring'd be different with the neck add instead of bridge add?
    and whether they could still coexist with your parallel/series switch mod? with the same extra tones (dont intend to use that mid neck series bit either, but i'm thinking using the neck add instead of the bridge add would mean I get the mid neck in series instead of the bridge mid in series?

    [edit]Basically everything your mod does but with neck add instead of bridge add...don't know why I didn't just put it straight.. haha

    Please correct me if i'm wrong.. not the most experienced, even i intend to just show the tec a schematic to follow.
