From first post:
The ideal would be to make this with a toggle switch but i don't think it's possible at all.. tell me if I'm wrong !

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

Yes indeed ! I went the tele switch way because I knew it wasn't possible to do it with a standard 3 way big toggle switch...

Hmm.. Isn't there Gibson toggles especially for three pick up guitars with EXACT that feature?
Edit: Like this:

This switch can be wired the same as our "on/on/on" Mini toggle switches
It's perfect !

Isn't it so that (on the gibson full size toggle) you should connect the pups to 1, 3 and 5 and wire together 2, 4 and 6 and off to output?

I found a wiring diagram exactly like Gordon's one but it's a neck pup/middle pup/bridge pup.. so it seems Gordon's wiring is the one.
Anyway, i order the switch from Stewmac, we'll see when it's here.

Of course it is...

The part on the left is not mine, it's Stewmac's, and is just there to show the lugs connections.
