Re: Talk Tele's to me!
Hi! I am also planning to upgrade my Fender Vintera ‘50s telecaster modified with a little 59. I don’t know if is it possible to have an option to split it without removing the s1(out of phase) and the series connection on my 4th way switch. Help! Haha!

Welcome to the forum!
You may be able to add a push pull to the tone pot to split that pickup before going to the switch. You might find that the Little 59 sounds better in parallel than split, but it really is something to hear first and decide what you like better.

Re: Talk Tele's to me!
Thanks for the reply sir! �� I’m wondering if it possible to use the S1 switch to split the coils?
So the configuration is,
- for the 1st switch of the 4 way switch is the bridge then if i trigger the S1 switch then it will split the coils.
- 2nd switch which is the neck and bridge pick up plus S1 which is to trigger out of phase and also the bridge pup will act as single coil.
Is it possible? Haha

Re: Talk Tele's to me!
I think my idea is not doable. Haha! What I am saying is does S1 switch can split the coils? with normal phase and then for switch 2, the function of the S1 switch will flip the phase and then at the same time will split the little 59. I don't know how to explain it. HAHA. I'm sorry.

Re: Talk Tele's to me!
I have some "sleeper"teles one is a classic vibe 50's looks totally stock with a Duncan BG1400 bridge and gfs fatbody neck, it rocks and can get some nice stratty tones in the neck, other is a MIJ 89 thinline, dimarzio tone zone T with series/parallel/split, treble bleed 500k pots and a gfs fatbody neck I can get the most beautiful clean tones, stratty quack, very convincing tele twang and flat out fat ballsy rock tone with a hint of tele still there, doing a build right now with hot rail teles and going to do series/ parallel on both I don't like the split tones of the hot rails I have heard. An esquire with P-rails might be interesting though..................I got this CV for 200 bucks in brand new condition it is a great guitar even better with the BG1400

I've had a MIM for half my life at this point and it has served me very, very well. Great platform for modding as it's pre-routed for a neck HB (Sh1n sounds great there, as did SH2n and Phat Cat). Compensated brass saddles for vintage twang.

Old MIM Standard with ceramic bar pickups, and leave it stock. It'll do the regular Tele thing and the hard rock Tele thing just fine, without having to dick with anything. Those "horrible" ceramic MIM pickups were actually quite versatile, going from sweet to abrasive with a little volume and tone manipulation.

Re: Talk Tele's to me!
THIS bloke talk way too much, and too slow, but you get the idea.
Hot Rails might be something you wanna look into.

Re: Talk Tele's to me!
Depending on your wants, you could get a body with a humbucker rout for the bridge pickup and use one of these to mount a "vintage broadcaster" pickup.

I was planning to do this with an old kramer but splitting the coils on the slanted bridge pickup got me there without actually mounting the adapter.
