USA Telecaster® Wiring Diagram (Oak Grigsby/CRL 3-way switch)
Telecaster® 4-Way Switch Mod
The four-way Tele switch configuration works with an Oak Grigsby Or CRL 4-way switch to give you both series and parallel circuits. This great little wiring enhancement for Telecaster guitars that really opens up the tone options for you.
Telecaster® HS Wiring Mod
This wiring kit uses 500k solid shaft pots for both volume and tone. The additiona of a 500k resistor wired inline with the single coil acts to “step down” the pot to 250k, thereby taming the high frequencies, producing a more traditional Telecaster tone.
Telecaster® Deluxe Wiring Diagram
Standard Telecaster® Deluxe wiring diagram, with 2 Humbuckers, 2 Volume/ Tone controls, and a 3 way toggle switch.
Broadcaster Wiring Diagram
Originally named the “Broadcaster” Until Gretsch complained, these models were wired completely differently to what we now see in the modern Telecaster®. One pot acts as a master volume control, and the second pot as a blender to bring in the neck pickup in position 1.
P1 – Bridge pickup with active blender to allow neck pickup to be added
P2 – Neck pickup alone – blender inactive, no tone control
P3 – Neck pickup with .05uF capacitor (very warm tone, blender inactive)
