3 pickup 3 way switch wiring question

Hey all,

I have a three pickup telecaster project going on right now, and I need some help from the good folks here. I'm planning to have a master volume and master tone. The tone pot is a push pull, and I would like to have it wired for "bridge on".

Here is my ideal wiring for a three way lever switch with three pickups:

Push/Pull normal
1=Neck
2=Middle
3=Bridge

Push/Pull Up

1=Neck/Bridge
2=Middle/Bridge
3=Bridge

Is this possible? Any wiring suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit of a newbie to wiring and modding in general. Thanks!

Can't do.

Just wire the 3 way like a regular Tele and then use the push/pull to add the middle in when ever you want it.

ala NASHVILLE TELECASTER !

Hey sjtalon, thanks for the helpful information. I may try that! Which lug would I need to solder the middle pickup to? Thanks again for chiming in!
