Well, I went ahead and changed out the wiring to be parallel fulltime. Man what a difference! It's still smooth, fat, and loud; but realy cuts through. Honestly, it reminds me of a DiMarzio Fred. Here's the diagram I used.

Re: Lil 59 for Tele in Parallel Mode Rocks the House!
LOL! I just wired my Tele as an Esquire using the Lil59 and the SD "Esquire w/humbucker" diagram; started playing, sounded good but rather bassy, switched to "middle" position for split sound which was clear and bright and not too thin, then switched to "neck" for parallel position - wow, sounded so good I thought I had the wiring backwards! I think I might go ahead and really wire it backwards so "bridge" is parallel and "middle" is split - it will be those sounds that will get the most use for sure.

Re: Lil 59 for Tele in Parallel Mode Rocks the House!
Glad to hear that you are still having fun with guitars Butch.
I agree. With a switch for series/parallel, the little 59 is pretty versatile. In parallel you get a bit of single coil sound.
