Thanks for the URL, though, as I'm planning on building at least one telecaster style guitar next year. |

Post pics! Are you going to use a 4-way switch? It costs the same as a 3-way but you get a humbucker effect in #4.

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I've never wired TV jones pups, but I've found for single coils, I like 500K pots, rather than the traditional 250k.
Good luck.
PS If the pups are splitable, then in the volume position use a push pull switch for the neck, and consider a mini switch somewhere else to split the bridge, though probably not necessary to split the bridge. For the tone knob, I can't recommend enough the torres midrange tone knobs. They have an inner knob to cut or boost the midrange and an outer knob that functions all the time as a regular tone knob. That thing is great. |
