Hum single tele wiring

[michael8372]

Hi everyone. ..i'm new here....i'm Michael.
Building a tele with a 4 wire hum at the neck, and a hot single at the bridge. Looking for a wiring diagram for a 5-way Fender switch that will split the humbucker. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,......Michael

I opted for a push/pull Vol pot and 3-way lever. Unless you are planning to get the super switch you're kinda limited. Yes you can split with the 5way using a strat wiring with a single tone. Just wasn't quite what I wanted. Easiest solution for me was the push pull pot. My Tele is reverse of your project. Neck single and bridge HB. I run the HB in single mode and pull up on the pot for HB. Sounds like a good old Tele until I need that thickness. Then I'm in more of a shredder territory.

Thanks for the response. I think I found a diagram for the standard Fender type 5-way. If it works out I'll update.

Welcome to the forum!

I am curious what the 5 positions of the switch will do.

Re: Hum single tele wiring

The 5 positions are....hum, hum-single, single, hum cut-single, hum cut. Wired it up today and the switch seems to work the way it's supposed to, but the volume control works backwards. I'll try switching the wires around on the volume pot and see what happens.
