Telecaster 5-Way 3 pickup 7 Sound Wiring harness
This wiring harness is for a 3 pickup 5-way Nashville style Telecaster but is not stock Nashville. This harness uses a CTS Push-Pull pot for the tone control. and gives you 7 pickup combinations.
The kit comes pre-assembled and professionally built by Atlantic Custom Guitars using all top-quality American made components.
1 CTS audio-taper, split shaft Pot with brass shaft and bushing. (250k are standard but 500k are available)
1 CTS full size Push Pull Pot. (250k are standard but 500k are available)
1 - .022mfd Sprague Orange Drop capacitor
1 - Treble bleed Kit (stew-mac) on the 250k setup. (I don't use them on the 500k setup because 500k pots don't lose treble like 250k)
1 Switchcraft input jack
1 Original CRL 5-way USA Switch (Considered by most guitarists and guitar builders as the 1st choice for a Strats and Custom Teles)
Cloth-covered, Gavitt vintage-style wire.
This harness does NOT include the control plate.
Position #1 ..................... Bridge pickup (Rear Position)
Position #1+PP ...............Bridge and Neck (Classic Tele)
Position #2 ..................... Bridge and Middle
Position #2+PP .............. Bridge, Middle and Neck
Position #3 ..................... Middle pickup
Position #4 ..................... Middle and Neck
Position #5 ..................... Neck pickup (front position)
The Tone Control is a CTS Push-Pull Pot, when you pull it up, it engages the Neck pickup regardless of what position the 5-way switch is in. This gives you the 2 extra positions.
When the 5 way switch is in position #1 you get the normal bridge pickup, but when you pull the push-pull up, you will get bridge and neck. Position #2 normally gives you bridge and middle but when you pull up the push-pull, you will get all 3 pickups together.
These USA made pots have 24 spline shafts, so you will need 24 spline knobs. (Metric and imported pots use 18 spline knobs). I also include 2 brass pot sleeves which convert Split Shaft Pots to Solid Shaft Pots so you can use metal knobs with set screw.
I have both CTS 250k and 500k push-pull pots in stock, please contact me if you want me to build it with 500k pots rather than the standard 250k pots.
