# Tele with a bridge Tele humbucker, neck single coil, four-way, volume and tone Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/tele-bridge-tele-humbucker-neck-single-four-way One Tele humbucker · One single coil · Four-way blade · Volume · Tone A Tele-sized humbucker in the bridge and a single coil in the neck on a four-way blade: bridge, both in parallel, neck, and both in series for more output. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/tele-bridge-tele-humbucker-neck-single-four-way.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Neck single coil: Neck single coil; compatible example (Vintage Tele Rhythm STR-1) - Bridge Tele humbucker: Bridge Tele humbucker; compatible example (Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for Tele) - 4-Way Switch: 4-Way Switch; compatible example (4-Way Tele Mod Switch) - Volume 250k: Volume 250k; 250k; compatible example (CTS 250k Audio Pot) - Tone 250k: Tone 250k; 250k; compatible example (CTS 250k Audio Pot) - .047 cap: .047 cap; 47nF; compatible example (Orange Drop .047µF) - Output Jack: Output Jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11) - Ground wire from bridge: Ground wire from bridge; compatible example (Bridge ground wire) - Neck pickup cover ground wire: Neck pickup cover ground wire; generic (Pickup cover ground wire) ## Specific to this wiring - Where the sheet leaves a switch tag unlabelled, it is matched by what it does. - The sheet grounds the neck pickup's cover with its own wire to the volume casing, so the black lead can leave ground in series (position 4); it is drawn as a separate cover ground wire. - Revision 3: title, layout and values corrected to the sheet (humbucker in the bridge, single coil in the neck). ## Connections 1. Neck single coil gnd → 4-Way Switch T5 (wire, black) 2. 4-Way Switch T3 → Volume 250k casing (wire, black) 3. Bridge Tele humbucker gnd → Volume 250k casing (wire, green) 4. Bridge Tele humbucker bare → Volume 250k casing (wire, bare) 5. Ground wire from bridge ground → Volume 250k casing (wire, black) 6. Volume 250k lug1 → Volume 250k casing (wire, ground) 7. .047 cap b → Tone 250k casing (wire, black) 8. Volume 250k casing → Tone 250k casing (wire, black) 9. Tone 250k casing → Output Jack sleeve (wire, black) 10. Neck pickup cover ground wire → Volume 250k casing (wire, black): The cover has its own ground so the neck's black lead can leave ground in position 4 (series). 11. Bridge Tele humbucker hot → 4-Way Switch T10 (wire, black) 12. Neck single coil hot → 4-Way Switch T6 (wire, white) 13. 4-Way Switch T6 → 4-Way Switch T7 (wire, black) 14. 4-Way Switch T7 → Volume 250k lug3 (wire, black) 15. 4-Way Switch T4 → 4-Way Switch T9 (wire, black) 16. 4-Way Switch T2 → 4-Way Switch T3 (wire, black) 17. Bridge Tele humbucker white → Bridge Tele humbucker red (wire, red) 18. Volume 250k lug2 → Output Jack tip (wire, black) 19. Volume 250k lug3 → Tone 250k lug1 (wire, black) 20. Tone 250k lug2 → .047 cap a (wire, black) ## What each position does - Position 1: Bridge Tele humbucker (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 2: Neck single coil and Bridge Tele humbucker (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 3: Neck single coil. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Position 4: Neck single coil and Bridge Tele humbucker (both coils) in series. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend. - Custom tapers are not reproduced; pots are simulated as linear. - Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given. ## Check before plugging in ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Seymour Duncan diagram Tele\_1TH\_1S\_4B\_1V\_1T, revision 3.
