A customer asked me to build this for him. I thought it turned out pretty cool, so here it is. Sort of a 2 pickup Tele/1 pickup Esquire Hybrid! A nice - different mod for your 2 pickup Telecaster! Very easy to drop in and wire up. FREE shipping.
Here is how it works:
With the push/pull volume pot in down position, wiring harness will operate as normal Fender Esquire 1 pickup (bridge) with 3 position switch
3 way Switch Positions:
1) Volume with no tone
2) Standard volume & .022 mfd orange drop tone (adjustable tone)
3) Volume & .0047 mfd fixed tone
push/pull volume pot in up position, Esquire wiring and 3 way switch will be bypassed and you will get neck pickup only, wired straightforward with tone control bypassed.
Included in each SGS Fender Tele /Esquire Hybrid system:
1) CTS 250K Audio taper tone Pot
1) CRL 3 way pickup selector switch
1) "Orange Drop" .022 mfd 100 volt Capacitor
1) .0047 mfd Capacitor
5) Gavitt vintage style push back black (ground) and white (hot) cloth covered wires, 22 gauge
1) Switchcraft #11 input jack with heat shrink strain relief on both terminals
1) Wiring diagram (sent via email)
1) Assembly template board
Each set is assembled, hand wired and soldered in the USA using premium parts. All sets are signed by Dave Starr and have their own serial number.
Note: Most guitars manufactured overseas in South Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia and Mexico use 6mm metric pots and have metric sized holes drilled. You will need to enlarge the pot holes to 3/8" to fit these CTS pots properly.
