Hs tele partscaster wiring help. Please!!

[bendigstrails]

I'm building my first partscaster it's a tele body and I'm using a JB on the bridge and a quarter pound with the tap wire on the neck. I'm going to use 2 push/push volume pots and a 3 way switch. No tone knob. I want to be able to split the JB and tap the quarter pound. I've looked for a wiring diagram that shows this sort of setup and have not been able to find one. I've been trying to figure it out on my own but I get dizzy . I know it's asking a lot but if anyone has a wiring diagram of this sort of setup they could share I would be grateful!!

Hi bendigstrails, and welcome to the forum! [emoji2]

I just posted this a diagram a few minutes ago in a different thread, but I think it will work fine for you.

I realize that this diagram is only showing splitting, and that tapping is not the same thing, but we wire them pretty much the same way.

The JB will obviously just follow one of the two examples (whichever one you want). For the Quarter Pound, though, we're going to follow the example on the bottom (North/slug) and pretend that the combined red & white wires are your tap wire.

This is probably a stupid question but will the volume still work like this? Or do I have to go back into one of the top 3 lugs (not part of the bottom 6)

No such thing as a stupid question.

Yes, the volumes will still work this way.
