Very unusual wiring setup. My dream!!


Hey Im hoping someone can help a little bit. Im totally clueless
on how I would get this to work. Or if it would even work in the first place.

I have the volume, tone, rotary setup on my PRS. I want to replace the rotary with a 3-way. It will do the usual bridge/both/neck switching.

Heres the weird stuff. I want to have 2 push/pull pots in the volume and tone
positions. In the tone position, the actual pot will do NOTHING, but pushed in is full humbucking, and pulled splits to single coils.

Then have the volume pot bypassed when pushed, and activated pulled. For live use when I just want my volume on max I can just leave it pushed in. But if I want to use it for tonal changes from the pickup I can just pull and adjust. Also If I leave the pot rolled down, then it becomes an on/off switch. Which is something I've always dug on guitars.

So is this possible?? Some say yes. Some say no. Where I'm really confused
is with the volume pot. Can I bypass it like that?? Thanks for any input guys!
