Post Pikcup change - G&L Asat classic s semi-hollow
It's a USA G&L Asat classic s semi-hollow with small mfd pickups. It's a beautiful guitar and feels great. This style has the strat 3 (nashville) pickup configuration. The existing mfd squeals and feedsback and just isn't giving me the tone I want.

Could use some help in how to wire this up with an SD little 59 in the bridge. There's a push/pull pot to add the neck pickup plus the 5 position strat switch. I'd like to see if I can have the option to run the Little 59 in series or parallel. My main axe is a Suhr Alt T Pro with Thornbuckers and I want to see if I can get in the same territory with the Asat.

How would you wire it up?

Before changing out any of the existing pickups, you might see these posts on fixing the squealing:

I’ve been down that road before with another set of mfd pups and finally gave up on it. Plus the more compressed humbucker tone is more what I’m shooting for.
