I want to rewire my telecaster with a four way switch.I read somewhere something about wiring a volume kit.Does anyone know what it is ,where to get one ,and is it necessary? Thanks.

It's just a cap and/or resistor to keep the highs from rolling off when you turn down the volume control on the guitar. There's lots of great info on impedence and resistance in parallel circuits. I rely on a volume pedal though, so I never installed the mod on either of my Tele's.

There are several "cap + resister in parallel" combinations you can try.

Here are three:

1) .0022uF + 220K = Lindy Fralin (on his Web site)

2) .001uF + 150K = TV Jones (in a post on the Gretsch Pages)

3) 330pF + 330K = TV Jones (alternate coombination)

I use the Fralin version. You can use the link below to figure out how to attach it to your Tele:
