With two p90's in neck and middle, and a 4 wire humbucker in bridge, is it possible to get the bridge / middle quack position to use just one coil of the humbucker with a normal 5 way strat switch?
And if so how
**edit i might just put a coiltap on the humbucker.

If you do it via coil tap you could use a push/pull knob?

yes thats probably going to be the answer.
**edit - for some reason on this guitar bridge / middle is hum cancelling, but neck / middle is not. seems most likely reason is the pickups have been swapped over and the reverse wound one is not in the middle? - selector switch is also doing odd pickup choices so this makes sense.
or it could be intentional - ive read reviews that mentioned that only one position was hum cancelling. im replacing it with a standard 5 way.
so far my favorite position is bridge / middle, and if replace the bridge pickup with a ceramic shredder it will bollux that position, even with the bridge tapped. imo half a humbucker is a pleasant plinky sound, but nothing like a real single coil pickup.
