Triple Shot - extra wire

[Mikelamury]

thats not true. on a tele, you actually have to separate one of the two grounds, either the cover on the neck or the baseplate on the bridge or youll get a nasty hum. ive wired up a strat with just two pups and a 4 way and it worked fine.

Would you mind sending me a diagram how you did that. I would really like to get that to work.

You can wire a guitar with 2 pickups, 2 volumes,
2 tone & a 4-way selector if you locate the control pots after the pickups , but before the 4-way. You will also need relocate the neck pickups tone & volume controls ground points to the same connection tab on the 4-way that the neck pickups return conductor is attached to.
The switches function will operate correctly in all four positions if switches out put connects directly to the jack’s tip.

i dont have a good/easy way to make a diagram but its no different than wiring up a tele with the 4 way switch

The selection options between three pickups controlled by a 4-way is intriguing, but seems limiting the strat’s possibilities instead of widening them!

Another avenue to think about might be to use a push/pull pot to connect that other pickup to positions 2 & 4 on a 5-way
