52 wiring scheme

thessandman · November 20th, 2009, 01:08 PM

"The '52 wiring has a bassy rhythm tone in the first position of the switch. The middle position is neck pickup only, the third is bridge only. The main difference between the '52 and the '66 is that the 1966 style allows for combination of neck and bridge pickup together in the middle position."

Anybody use the 52 scheme?
Your thoughts?

Most don't like the dark neck and miss the distinctive N&B so wire std. (for nowadays) Tele.

No caps on the switch
Pos. 1 Bridge
2 N&B
3 Neck

and then use the tone pot if you need a little bass.
