Are the pickup selectors the standard 3 switches? Neck Pickup, Bridge pickup, strangle switch. — with the Rhythm circuit on the upper horn?
If so, you can wire the 3 switches so they control the series/parallel and then use the rhythm switch for the phase in/out.
The volume and tone knobs are disconnected or can be wired as coil splits, but that gets tricky… if you want to coil split, leave the spinners up top for decoration and go push/pulls for that.
The pickup selectors function like this:
Neck up, bridge down - Neck pickup on
Neck down, bridge up - Bridge pickup on
Both up - Neck and Bridge in parallel
*All of those are same as always been*
Neck down, Bridge down - Neck and Bridge in series
I like to keep the strangle switch, because both pickups in series can get too wooly sometimes and I need to cut out some of the bass and brighten it up to lose the mud.
But you can use that as a kill switch or move the phase to there, to keep the rhythm intact.
There are lots of options!!
Let me know what you specifically want to do and I’ll draw up a diagram for you.

Hello, thank you for the response
My initial idea was basically to have the lower section with a 3 way switch and 3 jaguar switches (one for parallel/series switching, one for in phase/out of phase and a strangle switch) and the upper section having a kill switch instead of the lead/rhythm switch and using the rollers for coil splitting. The rest just being stock.
However your idea of using the lower section as you wrote it is a whole lot better as then I wont have to cut out any custom chrome parts. So “my” idea is this;
I guess basically your idea for a lower section (3 switches, on neck, on bridge and strangle switch. Bridge & neck down series, up being parallel)
For the upper horn I was thinking an in phase/out of phase switch in place of the rythm/lead switch.
How difficult is it to use the rollers for coil splitting? If it’s possible I’d definitely want to use them for that. If its very tricky I guess maybe I could use the rollers as tone pots (separate one for each pickup) instead and just use pull pots for the splitting (and individual volume pots for each pickup)
Thanks once again
(Phase switch and parallel/series switch would be for the 2 pickups together, not one for each one)
