1st pos - neck
2nd pos - neck and bridge
3rd pos - bridge
4th pos - bridge and middle
5th pos - middle

I have a Tele with a strat style middle pickup that I have wired this way , and what I like about it is that I can get the neck-bridge combo instead of the neck-middle combo which for me is a much more usable sound , I also get the bridge-middle combo which is one of my favorites .

If you decide that you want to wire it exactly as you described it , let me know and I will sketch you out a wiring diagram .

I'd give it a go... sounds a little easier than adding in the toggle switch by drilling a hole in my control plate. haha. If I could ask a favor though. if I can change the postions...? (is it possible to get out of phase with a standard five way? or would I have to by the supper switch?)

1st pos - Neck
2nd pos - Neck and Middle
3rd pos - Neck and Bridge
4th pos - Middle
5th pos - Neck and Bridge (out of phase, if not, then neck and middle)


I think that'd be in the order of fullest to thinest (I'd have to think of it this way). Thanks for the help!!!
