Actually, I would like an answer to question 1 after all. I'd come to the conclusion it was probably going to be very tricky. But Guthrie Govan's Charvel does it, so maybe it's not that hard: https://www.charvel.com/gear/shape/san-dimas/style-1/guthrie-govan-signature-mj-san-dimas-sd24-cm/2925414588
I was looking at that "pickup switching tab" and the mini-toggle switch seems to still use the full humbuckers in position 1 & 5, but does "single coil simulation". Anyone got any idea what that is? Clearly seems to be showing the full pickup being on, so is that a weird way to put some kind of series/parallel switching or is it probably switching in a tone circuit or something? I'm curious because it's pointing towards what I was thinking of: 5-way auto-coil split, but with middle being both outer pickups (albeit those are split), and instead of whatever "single coil simulation" he was going for with his single mini-toggle, I was going to have 2 separate mini toggles to coil split each of the HBs.
