Note: Neck & Bridge Vol controls are 'master' controls in this diagram, so that the Neck Vol mutes the entire output in positions 1,2 & 4
and the Bridge Vol mutes the entire output in position 2,3 & 6. The Middle Vol blends in the Middle Pickup in positions 4, 5 & 6.
If more scope for individual pickup blending is preferred, then reverse hot and wiper connections at B Vol and N Vol pots.

pull pot and dotted wires for middle pickup only in position 5.
Use multi-core screened cable between switch and controls on
LP-style guitars.
For Humbucker guitars, middle PU is normally reverse phase.
