Wiring Diagram for 2 hum, 1 vol, 1 tone & 3way lever

Does anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 1 tone, and a standard 3 way Tele type lever switch? All the ones I find online show the toggle switch type from a Les Paul and I am not that good at this stuff to figure it out on my own.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should do it.



I'd suggest putting push pulls on the pots for series/parallel operation if you want close to tele-single coil sounds as well.

No worries.
FWIW Seymour Duncan's website has pretty much everything you need unless you want something exotic.

The sad thing was I was too much of a novice to know that the stacked pickups were the same hookup as humbuckers.

With your help, I'm learning!

Thanks again...

It is worth remembering that vintage sing coils and humbuckers are almost identical for setup.
4 conductor humbuckers are a relatively new fangled idea- all you are doing when you tape the red and white leads together (with a SD humbucker) is continuing the series connection (from the end of the 1st coil to the start of the 2nd coil).
Understanding humbucker wiring is pretty simply but gives you a hell of a lot of options.

Have a look here:

http://www.1728.com/guitar.htm

For some great ideas on wiring.
One of my faves is a mod for strats where all pickups are wired in series (Basically a triple humbucker type of config).
Sounds great with distortion.

There is so much scope with wiring- there is a great primer available in the Guitar Player repair guide by Dan Erlewine.
