Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
You need a 4 way super switch. I was looking to do something similar with a 5way switch. Decided on a 3way and a push/pull for coil split. With the push/pull in the down position the bridge is split so my Tele acts and a sounds like a Tele. Pull up and it's FYF! SCREAMING!

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
You would need a Strat 5 way super switch (I'm not aware of a 4 way super switch). The simplest solution would be your regular Tele 3 way with a push/pullon the vol or tone pot to do the bridge split. It's also a pretty simple procedure to add a DPDT mini toggle to your control plate by drilling a small hole between the vol and tone knobs. Either way, a separate switch to split the bridge pup is the easiest way to get what you want.

No need for a super switch ... Just a 4 way

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
Yeah, electrically, you can take the red/white and either short it to ground or hot. It changes which coil you're using and may effect polarity. You would then have to tweak your wiring (and/or flip magnet) accordingly for noise cancelling, etc.

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
Technically, that will work. But there's one potential problem. In positions 2 and 3, you're "floating" one coil of the humbucker on the "hot" side of the circuit. Like this:
In certain environments, you'll be able to listen to AM talk radio while you play.

Flip it over and it is exactly what he is asking for.

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
Uh...no.
I'd say "not quite", but it's actually not even close.
And split isn't the same as parallel (electrically or tonally).

He asked for split in his original post. Read it again.

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
It's saying that the Outer coil in the neck and the bridge are then wired in parallel. Just like positions 2 and 4 of a strat; those pickups are in parallel. And by the diagram, there is no way for the neck pickup to be parallel with itself and be connected with the bridge.

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
Wouldn't this be negated with a covered pickup? The cover would basically be acting as Faraday Cage, blocking out RFI.

Re: Telecaster SH wiring - Again
Ah, I see my confusion...you've got the switch positions backwards. From where you have the "common" terminal on the switch located in your diagram (top left terminal), the black wire from the neck pup is connected to position #1, not 4. Therefore, position 1 is neck pup in series (not bridge pup). And when you said "flip it over" in a previous post, what you meant was to read the switching positions in reverse order. I never bothered to follow the electrical diagram, only your labels.
