I connected the resistor from terminal 3 to the input of the volume control. The rotor of that same pole is connected to ground.
it sounds rather nice and seems to be working fine although I’m not entirely sure if I’m getting 250K in position 3

However, you probably *do* want the resistor in positions 2 and 4 as well, even if the humbuckers are not split - the combined impedance is still below that of the single coil alone. Your ears are the only real judge though...

When I do @ICBM 'measuring potentiometer resistance in situ' trick, I'm still getting 500K on position 3 though - so I suspect my 510kΩ resistor isn't doing the job...
Re: the 510kΩ pole of the superswitch:
- should I connect the rotor to the other rotors
- then run a 510K resistor from terminal 3 to ground?
The only way you could detect it would be the tiny change in total resistance at the peak, and that’s so small it would probably be within the meter error.

This week, I had been mostly mulling over whether to use a 12-contact Oak Grigsby selector switch or a 24-contact four-pole switch, just in case I fancied modifying the circuit in future.
When I eventually bothered to inspect the rear access control cavity, the rout around the switch slot was too narrow to accommodate a double wafer switch without wood removal.
