Series/split/parallel wiring with a DP3T slide switch
I’m building a guitar where the client wants to use a three way slide switch (DP3T) instead of a three way toggle switch (DPDT) for having a series/split/parallel wiring configuration. We’re already locked into using the slide switch instead of the toggle, and I didn’t previously realize that the slide switch was DP3T so now I’m trying to figure out how to adapt the wiring.
I was going to use the series/parallel/split wiring for a DPDT from Gerry Hayes’s book, but I can’t really find any diagrams for a DP3T switch. The closest I’ve found is from a Warmoth forum post (https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/dp3t-series-switch-parallel.34534/) which seems to be reasonable, but I’m curious if anyone has come up with anything else or has any thoughts!

The reply in the Warmoth forum looks sound. Nothing else leaps to mind for a solution so I say go with this. I don’t expect there will be any issue with not having the red grounded in the split position. That coil is out of circuit so it shouldn’t cause any hassle.
