Wow! This really is a great forum. So much good info! I'm in the process of building a Tele. It's the first Tele I've had, and I'm really looking forward to putting it all together - just waiting on lacquer to dry right now =)

Curious question on this topic though. I've got a SD "Little '59" HB for my bridge pickup and a SD Hot Tele single coil for the neck. I'm no wiring guru by any means...

From what I've read, most people will wire the 4-way so that they have bridge, both (series), both (parallel), and neck. Apparently this is the most common, but this thread got me thinking. What if I wanted to do bridge, bridge (coil-shunted), both, then neck? Would I rather have the pickups in series or parallel and what exactly is the difference? Also, not to sound stupid, but coil-shunted would mean that my bridge would function as a single-coil, right? And which coil would I use? Also, what would the wiring scheme be for those?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
