4 way switch with 1 4 conductors humbucker and 1 single coil - wiring needed

[marcello252]

I need your help, everytime I want to wire a fender 4 way switch I get mad.

I'd like to have this configuration in my tele with a 4 condutors. HB at the bridge and 1 tele single at neck:

1- full HB
2 - full HB parallel SC
3 - split HB parallel SC
4 - SC

Any idea how to wire the switch ?

many thanks

A note and a question:

Are these Duncans?

Using a standard 4-way will leave one humbucker coil hanging out on the hot side of the circuit in pos #3. (Like a noise antenna.) It may not be a problem, but it could.

Here's a quik-'n-dirty on how to do the 4-way. I'm showing it in 3 sections to help see how the front and rear wafers are organized. And once again, doing this will leave one humbucker coil hangin' on the hot side of the circuit in pos #3. Ideally, you'd want a 4-way Superswitch, and I don't think I've seen one of those.

Perfect!! thank you Artie !!

the antenna effect is not a real issue, I'm not even planning to use it so much, it was just a plus to thin out the sound when needed

btw the pickups are SD , a tele STR 1 and an A2P on the bridge (but I have to decide yet if keeping it or switching to a JB)

Cool. Then the "bridge split wire", (purple line), just refers to the red/white wire on the A2P. This should sound sweet.
