Tele Stacks wiring question

[tkingen]

I just received a pair of Vintage Stacks for my Tele. I'd like to wire them up with push/pulls or maybe push/pushes so that both can be tapped independent from each other. In the middle positoin this could give me a full stack bridge with a tapped neck, or a full stack neck with a tapped bridge.
Which wiring diagram should be used?

If you want two push/pulls you'd have to put another push/pull on the tone ... then red/white for the bridge pickup would go to that one. Be sure to ground it to the back of the pot too.

Hi doveman,

Thanks for your response. So I would wire the neck pup as shown to the volume push/pull, and then just duplicate the same scheme with the bridge pup to the tone push/pull?

Yeah ... on the drawing.
- red/white wire from neck pickup would go to the switch on the tone pot.
- ground on the switch to the back of the tone pot ... same as on the vol pot
- tone & volume pots themselves would be wired just like the drawings (since the switches operate totally seperate from the pots).

I actually did this on my Schecter Tele with the Vintage Stacks. Instead of a push pull pot, I used a DPDT micro switch that flipped both at the same time and really like it. You might want to go with schematic that I linked "as is" because it's doing the same thing. It's pretty handy to go from single to hum with one motion. I recommend it over the two switches setup.

Good luck.

doveman,

I got to thinking there probably wouldn't be much of a need to tap them seperately so I followed your advice in wiring exactly as the drawing. It works beautifully.
Thanks a million!

Cool ... what I like about that setup is ... in single coil it's a bit louder and has a bit more edge and I think a really authentic single coil sound. I run mine that way most of the time. Flick a switch and it's totally noiseless ... 6 sounds & 4 of them noiseless. I like it too.
