well what you need to do:
Yep. Push pulls are the way to go. Set it up so that when not pulled out you have standard operation, then when they're pulled out you get tonal madness
You also need a vlx-91 or the ernie ball (i believe) 5 way switch of madness (4 plates, it's huge, won't fit in a front routed ibby as far as i know, can't remember)
Basically, one push pull pot should be wired to flip the phase of the neck pickup, (ie, ground becomes hot, hot becomes ground, i think, basically you want the signal going the reverse way, the dimarzio wiring booklet shows you how to do it, it's not hard)
Next up, you want a push pull for coil splitting. On the bridge pickup simply run a wire from the two 4conductor connections you solder together to one lug, the hot to the other. On the neck, with the phas wiring, take the output of the phase selected push pull, wire that to hot and then do the same wiring from the joined conductors (you get the principle)
Then wire up the switch. Choose 5 configurations of the pickups and have fun. It can get pretty bizarre and mindbending if you don't draw a diagram first.
In fact. draw the diagram first, trust me!
