I am helping to “Esquire” a far eastern made telecaster type guitar. The headstock is blank but the heel plate tells me that it probably once said Stagg. Fret ends are excellent, pups are DMs and pots are CTS so it has had some attention in the past. 3 way is import type with only one com. Owner does not want the usual Fender Esquire type wiring with the bassy tone option but 1. Blower (direct to jack) 2.Vol only 3. Vol plus Tone. He is a competent guitarist who gigs (or did before lock down) with more than one outfit, so I am sure he knows what he wants. The guitar actually has a good Tele sound and I would personally keep as is. I never did understand the enthusiasm for the simplicity of the Esquire.
My 75 year old brain has deduced that the logical way to do the wiring is as per the schematic above But, I thought before getting out the soldering iron, I would check with the Gurus that there is not a better way of doing it. Please excuse my usual low standard of sketching,
Apologies if this has been a topic before. Nothing relevant came up when I searched
