Due to my dissatisfaction with the Seymour Duncan wiring scheme I had in my humbucker strat (5-way with coil splitting), I decided to give the Bill Lawrence wiring a try:

I had to modify the circuit to accommodate the 2 volume/1 tone setup of my guitar but otherwise it went well.
I removed the reverse phase mini switch as the 1/2 OOP position seemed promising.
Welp, it was a success!
Positions and comments are as follows:
Position 1 = Neck Humbucker with Bass Cut
Position 2 = Neck and Bridge Humbuckers 1/2 Out of Phase
Position 3 = Bridge Humbucker
Position 4 = Neck and Bridge Humbuckers
Position 5 = Neck Humbucker
Obviously Postions 3-5 are standard 2 humbucker switch positions. Position 1 is subtle at low volume and more pronounced and useful as the volume is increased. Position 2 is the most surprising. It really nails the best aspects of the Out of Phase tone that I love so much. I didn't get to play with how the volumes interact but the function is as I have experienced in the past. No need for a mini-switch anymore.
