Hi, just fitted a L'59 in the bridge of a standard tele and at the same time, a 4 way pup switch. Positions 1, 2 & 3 are fine and the SD gives the sound i wanted but in position 4 ( series ) it's useless - less volume not more and very toppy and thin. Any ideas where I've gone wrong ??

Re: L'59 on tele
Yes, out of phase was the problem - now a great fat sound on series switching - thanks again. Just one more ( as there always is !! )
I'm getting loads of static through from the scratchplate. The neck pup cover is well grounded but touching the scratchplate between the pickups on the high e side causes pops and crackles. Have tried loads of extra ground connections without success. If I can fix this I'll have the tele i want !
Any ideas will be very welcolme.
Cheers , Mike

Re: L'59 on tele
Could it be static? Try rubbing one of those static cling dryer sheets on the pickguard and then see what happens. If that doesn't help, then look into shielding the pickguard with a proper connection to ground at some point. Also, sometimes you can run into noise problems with too many ground connections if they aren't all truly well grounded.
