4-way Tele Switch, Position 1 Esquire Cocked Wah Schematic?

I've never worked with a 4-way switch before. How would I go about wiring my Tele with the 1st position as a fixed wah. Here is what I'd like for the positions:

Positions:
4 - Neck - no tone
3 - Neck & Bridge
2 - Bridge
1 - Bridge no tone & fixed cap.

I was trying to do a different wiring, when I realized I really just wanted the Esquire's fixed cap position on a switch. However, I've got a great P90 in the neck of my Tele and I run that straight to the volume now, and it bypasses the tone knob, I want to keep that.

Anyone have a schematic for this? Thanks for the help

Can't figure it out.. if you forego tone control in position 3 I got you... still thinking about it.

I am curious why you choose the Tele 4-way switch for this.That switch is primary meant to allow you to have the neck and bridge pickups in series and get a fatter sound from the Tele.

I built a tele similar to this with 4 way. Mine is 1-bridge 2-bridge with cocked wah cap 3-bridge & neck 4-neck. My tone works in all positions though. I have a schematic somewhere if you are interested. I love it.

How about a 5-way then?

using a 4-way, it can be done only if the tone pot is a no-load ....

Thank you echofuzz,that was nice of you but as I said,I was just curious.I have used this switch http://www.**********************/product/SWL54F/Original-Fender-5-Way-Strat-Guitar-Super-Switch.html
If there is space enough in the cavity of the guitar,you can do a lot of different wirings.

yeah, gotta use a no-load tone. there's no need for a bridge resistor/cap - see my diagram above.
