Need help with telecaster wiring (Push/Pull)

Lately I've been very interested in "La Cabronita" Telecasters but the Fender Custom Shop are a long way out of my price range. Therefore i was thinking of building one from Warmoth parts.

Preferably I would have the 2 pickup but I don't want to have a switch as I want both a tone and a volume control.

This is where I need your help, does anyone know if it is possible to have 2 Push/Pull knobs (one to switch on/off the bridge pickup and one to switch on/off the neck pickup) if this is possible it would work just like a switch.

If anyone knows if this is possible will they please respond and any diagrams would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance.

p/p's are just like a light switch, on or off.

The middle two terminals are always in contact with the adjoining two in line vertically, depending on the knob being up or down. So all you would need to do is wire a positive pup wire IN, then have another wire going OUT.

Nice diagram.

You need to ground the outer vol. pot term though

Thread the cap lead to ground though there.

Oops. I switched out the bent leg volume pot with that push-pull & didn't grab the bent leg push-pull. Hey, I said it would wire "something" like that.

I'll fix & update. Thanks.
