Duncan Little 59 Tele wired to CTS push Pull Series/Parallel diagram!!!

Im trying to figure out how to wire the little 59 in my tele for Series/Parallel using CTS push pull pot. I would use Parallel more than Series so parallel in the down position. I use a Switchcraft 3 way toggle. Currently its also wired backwards (green to positive, black to ground) due to being out of phase with the Dimarzio neck PU Anybody help me to wire this correctly? Thanks

You'll need to reverse the black and the green in this diagram. In a p/p pot, the pot will be on the bottom of this switch, thus you will get series when pulled up and parallel when pushed down.

THANKS SINCE i WILL HAVE TO TRANSLATE THIS TO A CTS POT, IN THE DIAGRAM WHICH WAY IS THE POT FACING IF THE POT IS ON TOP AS IT WOULD BE INSTALLED THEN RIGHT NORTH TO SOUTH 3, C2, 4 LEFT NORTH TO SOUTH 1 ,C1, 2 THE POT IS FACING DOWN IN THAT DIAGRAM , THEN ON A CTS POT BOTTOM RIGHT NORTH TO SOUTH 2 C1 1 ON LEFT NORTH TO SOUTH 4, C2, 3. HOPEFULLY THAT MADE SENSE

This will do the trick. I reversed it where series your higher output setting is when you pull up. Follow everything else in your diagram the same. What I tell guys who ask me about wiring is think of the push pull pots like they are in space.

This is the easier way to do parallel so it may look different than your wiring diagram you've been provided but it works the same in the end. This way is easier to swap pickups

Just a lil hijack of this thread: in most cases i think the the parallel is a tad to brite. If i connect a - lets say .001uF - cap between red and white, it will dampen the highs.
