Tele Wiring - Series/Parallel...?

[sympomaniac]

Ok, so i've done a search, and looked through the support part of the site, and whilst loads of stuff came up, i didn't see anything that referred directly to what i'm after...

I've got a set of quarter pounders on order for a tele (Jap 62 Custom reissue) and i'd like to know how to wire them with a 4 way switch so that i can choose between series and parallel wiring in the middle position. (ie, bridge > both parallel > both series > neck)

If anyone could post/PM a schematic i'd be eternally greatful!! This might sound pretty dumb, but i've only ever worked with 'buckers in the past, and for some reason Fender style wiring seems a bit more fiddly than Gibson style!!

Cheers, Chris

See if this makes sense. If it doesn't, I can draw it a different way.

Cheers Artie, it looks pretty straightforward . . . . I'll have the pickups and hopefully the switch tomorrow morning, so i'll have a go at it then and let you know if i need a simplified version!!!

Cool . . . just so you know, the dark blue is the "common" on one side, that connects to the light blue lugs, and the red is the "common" on the other side that connects to the pinks.

(That drawing used dark and light red . . . came out pink on the webpage.)
