3-Way for SS

TELECASTER WIRING DIAGRAMS

Most off the shelves Teles comes with this wiring. The simple N/NB/B

Like Leo Fender did it.. The so called dark mode wiring. No Neck+ Bridge combo here.
Neck on P1 trough capacitor straight out, Neck on P2 Normal trough Tone. P3 is Bridge Std.

If you wish to rotate the switch to be at the back, and have the tone more accessible instead. This wiring show you how. Tone is as usual, in the middle.

A switch for ONE pickup.. Yes, Despite Leo being a cost-cutter first,  he did find a way for the Esquire to sport a switch.. Strangerly enough.

Weird little Leo Fender invention. Bridge on 1 & 2 Acts like dark wiring, but Bridge position on 3 will let you blend in Neck with the bridge.

The Telecaster Master wiring.. Don Mare had Nancy on his bench and jotted down the wiring Its all about the Bridge on this. Roy rarely or never used the Neck pickup.

4-Way for SS

Turns your Tele into a very versatile tool.

With a 4-Way and some caps and resistor, Pos 3 gives you a cocked Wah setting on the Bridge.
