I got some parts to upgrade electronics on my Mexican Nashville Tele that has the 3 pickup setup in it. I have a Duncan little 59 for tele in the bridge position. I installed a 2 way on on mini toggle switch to change the 59 from series to parallel. I used this Duncan diagram attached. It works great, but there’s one problem. When I switch the 5 way into the second position it sounds strange, like out of phase maybe with not a big volume drop. If I switch the black and green wires on the mini toggle to change the phase of the 59 I lose one position on the 2 way mini toggle, but second positions sounds correct. Any ideas how I can get 2nd position to sound right and still have everything work? Thanks

Yep, I'm watching for an old one with the Piezo-
And trying to convince my wife that my primary do it all performance guitar needs a back up- while she remembers that the argument for the stage guitar was, I didn't need but one guitar on the stage

Re: Help with Nashville Tele wiring
Does anybody know how I should wire my Nashville tele? I've got a Fender Twisted Tel in the neck RWRP and a tex mex strat in the middle RWRP and a Seymour Duncan Broad caster in the bridge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help with Nashville Tele wiring
It's pretty straightforward it you just want the normal positions. It's like a strat with two pots: https://guitarelectronics.com/strat-w-single-master-tone-control/
There are two gotchas though because you're mixing SD and Fender:
1) you have to switch the hot and ground of the Duncan
2) Duncans are wired RWRP compared to Fenders so none of your positions are humcanceling. You would need to put a non-RWRP in the neck or middle.
