Wiring Tele to Nashville tele.

[KnopflerStyle]

Well yesterday i worked in my 2nd Tele because i want a Nashville Tele.
So i have 3 Strat pick ups... a 5 Switch and one with 4 positions and a Texas Special Bridge Pick Up.

So the nashville tele has a Strat wiring? What about the 2nd Tone control?
I want to use my 4 switch position ( is Fender the other is another brand) any idea?

Thanks!!!!

stock Nashville wiring is master volume, master tone, and a five-position switch:

1-n
2-n+m
3-m
4-n+b
5-b

but if was me wiring it up from scratch, I'd go

1-n
2-n+m
3-n+b
4-m+b
5-b

with a master tone & volume. I don't like the way the middle pickup sounds alone (in either strat or tele) and I need the n+b tele position. plus this way you get a tone control on the bridge pickup, which is another necessity.

Mmmm yes i want to do the 2nd wiring.

The problem is that i have a Strat wiring with Pick Ups ready to install (with all the wiring) so i want to put it inside and change only the Brigde pick up with a Texas Special. I should change one tone pot beacuse i cant put 3 snif.... ( i dont like 3 pots in a Tele like Mason ones).

KC, I agree the big step forward on a Nashville is a neck - bridge setting, barely a tele without that setting.
mine are all stock, and lack this setting, where position four is middle and bridge, quacking and noise cancelling. I'd give up the middle only setup to get the neck and bridge, position 3.
Jus my too scents.

I need one of those post where you see the working step by step jejejeje. I have seen a lot here (nice topics btw) but never with a Nashville one.

stewmac sells a 5-way mega switch (model E) that is just like a standard 5-way but gives you necl/bridge in the middle. I have it on my nashville AND my strats!

I added a Tex-Mex middle P/U, 5-way switch and push-pull tone pot to mine. The 5-way is wired like a Strat and the push-pull gives the N + B in the 1 or 5 positions. An added benefit of this wiring scheme is that you get N + M + B in positions 2 or 4 using the push-pull. This guitar has major tone capability now.
