# Tele with two humbuckers and a push/pull tone that splits both Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/tele-two-humbuckers-tone-push-pull-split Two humbuckers · Three-way blade · One push/pull volume · One push/pull tone (split both) Neck and bridge Seymour Duncan humbuckers on a Tele three-way blade, one 250k push/pull volume and one 250k push/pull tone with a .047 µF capacitor. The tone push/pull grounds both pickups' series links; the volume push/pull switch is unused. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/seymour-duncan/tele-two-humbuckers-tone-push-pull-split.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Neck pickup: Seymour Duncan Neck Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, Seymour Duncan colours)) - Bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Bridge Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, Seymour Duncan colours)) - 3-Way Blade Switch: 3-Way Switch; compatible example (CRL 3-Way Blade) - Volume 250k push/pull: Volume 250k push/pull; 250k; compatible example (250k Push-Pull DPDT) - Tone 250k push/pull: Tone 250k push/pull; 250k; compatible example (250k Push-Pull DPDT) - .047 cap: .047 cap; 47nF; compatible example (Orange Drop .047µF) - Output Jack: Output Jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11) - Bridge Ground Wire: Bridge ground wire; generic (Bridge ground wire) ## Specific to this wiring - Both pots are printed as 250k push/pull; only the tone switch is wired for coil split. - Each pickup's red and white leads are soldered together onto a middle lug of the tone push/pull: neck on one side, bridge on the other. - The two push/pull lugs nearest the pot are jumpered and wired to the tone casing. - The volume push/pull switch lugs stay empty. - The source does not number the switch positions; the lugs are mapped by what they do (neck, both, bridge). - Jack legend: Tip (hot output); Sleeve (ground), the inner, circular portion of the jack. ## Connections 1.

Source: Engine reading; unused volume push-pull shaft included for completeness. - Hum cancelling and phase describe the generic pickup models, not a measurement of any specific Seymour Duncan model. - The source does not say which knob position splits; this follows the usual push/pull behaviour (pulled joins the middle lugs to the lugs nearest the pot). ## Check before plugging in - Knob down: each blade position reads the selected full pickup(s). - Knob up: the humbucker(s) on the push/pull drop to roughly one coil. - With the volume at zero, tip and sleeve should read as a short in every position. ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Seymour Duncan diagram Tele\_2H\_3B\_1V\_1TppSPL, revision 1.
