tele - 5 way - tapped bridge WITH a series option

[baconmanxxx]

looking to wire it

bridge full
bridge tapped
bridge tapped + neck
neck
bridge tapped + neck series

can't find a schematic for that exactly. any advice?

i dont think you can do that without a super switch

[Drak]

How I would do that if it were me is to:
Use a 4-way switch and wire it normally
Use a push-pull pot as a volume or tone pot
Use the push-pull 'switch' for your tapped bridge option.
So you have all the standard 4-way options.
And can add the tapped option any time you want by pulling the switch (knob) up.

I am guessing you mean split? I didn't think you could get the WLH tapped.

[baconmanxxx]

that was my original approach, but knowing how small the control cavity is, and that the untapped pickup in series will likely sound like dirt, i thought i'd distill it down to sounds i'd actually use. if possible, of course.

worst case there is a wiring diagram for the tapped tele. it omits the series mode, which i think is a cool addition, but gets me lots of sounds. i don't know that i'd get much use out of bridge full output + neck.

i am using the quarter pounder with a tap. i recognize that folks erroneously use those terms interchangeably.

I agree simplest would be 4-way plus a pull-to-split. Otherwise I think you're going to need a Superswitch.

Just wanted to point out that with the 4-way, you also have the option of full bridge + neck available.
Even if you think you might not choose that very often, it still might be useful once in a while.
