Telecaster selector switch wiring
« on: May 16, 2017, 04:44:45 pm »
Hi


I'm trying to help a friend wire up a Telecaster 3-way pcikupo switch


Here's the switch type.


https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0657/6821/products/bajaao_3_way_pickup_selector_31d76f5b-824a-4a11-ac1f-5ad6f58a4a68.jpeg?v=1482212684




The pickups are traditional- Lipstick and bridge.  Each pickup has 2 wires each- + & - All other wires are grounds




Thanks for any help

There are other ways, but this is the most common.


You can add a treble bleed also which is nice on the Bridge of a Telecaster.  Check out http://www.stewmac.com/Pickups_and_Electronics/Components_and_Parts/Capacitors_and_Resistors/Golden_Age_Treble_Bleed_Circuit.html
