telecaster rewire

(1/1)

kip4:
heres the deal i've bought a cheap as chips tele copy and i want to modify it so i can get more sounds out of it
i have purchased a five way strat type switch (might be the wrong sort for job in mind)
i'd love to try a
all three standard tele sounds
plus a series bridge and neck combination
i've seen the drawings on the net but my switch doesnt look anything like the amount of terminals i'll try to post a pic of the switch if you think it will help .
has anyone got a schematic rather than a drawing (reperesentation) please help

you'll need a DDPT toggle... the 5 way isn't all that useful on a Tele (though I suppose you could conceivable reverse phase on one pup with one of the unused (outside) positions... but I don't see much point in reverse phase on both at the same time

anyway refer to the diagram and treat each coil as one of the tele pups... common to place a mini toggle between the vol/tone pots (or a push/pull pot, replacing one of the stock pots if you don't want to drill a hole in the control plate.
