Rewiring a Telecaster - 1Humbucker, 1SingleCoil, 4Way Switch

José José · June 29th, 2009, 09:32 PM

Hi, I'm upgrading my Fender MIM Telecaster.
I have here a Bareknuckle Warpig for the neck and a Piledriver for the bridge position. Besides that, I have a 4Way Switch to make it like this:

It's incomplete because i don't know how to wire it. So, my question is, how can I do it?
Feel free to draw over the image and to sugest other wiring way if you think that it may be better than this.

Ps: sorry, the schematic is in Portuguese but I think it is understandable.

Don't quite understand your question - why not just wire the guitar as per the diagram? Are your pickups different to the diagram?

cc, if you watch closely, the diagram is incomplete! There's no connections from the bucker to the switch.

My bad, I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: I just used this from the resources section.

Cut where the arrow is pointing.

HTH and Good Luck.

EDIT2: It doesn't do what your text description says (or what I guess they say

) Did you want that exactly?

Thats right. :)

This one does what the texts say.

Thank you very much!
I dont have time to test it today but, maybe, tomorrow I'll do it and leave feedback here.

Hmmm, I think it won't do position 2 exactly... i.e. it doesn't have bridge in parallel for position 2.

I'll have to think about how to do it, if possible at all.

EDIT: this one does bridge parallel with 1/2 humbucker on position 2
