This wiring harness is for a 3 pickup 5-way Nashville style Telecaster but is not stock Nashville.
It 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.
You can also purchase this harness without the push-pull and we will build it with the standard tone pot. Select the option "Without push-pull"
- 1 CTS 250k custom audio-taper, split shaft Pot with brass shaft and bushing. (500k is available on request)
- 1 CTS 250k full size Push Pull Pot.
- 1 – .022mfd Orange Drop or Mallory .022mfd capacitor.
- 1 Switchcraft input jack
- 1 Original Oak Grigsby 5-way USA Switch.
- Gavitt Cloth-covered, vintage-style wire.
My 1st choice is the Mallory cap. It has more Mids which are considered the "voice" of the guitar, defining its overall character and presence in a mix.

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 the 24 spline Split Shaft Pots to Solid Shaft Pots so you can use metal knobs with set screw.
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 (classic middle position on a standard Tele). Position #2 normally gives you bridge and middle but when you pull up the push-pull, you will get all 3 pickups together.
If you have an imported Tele, you will need a USA spec Control Plate and you will also need Metal knobs that are 1/4" USA Specs.
There is an option on the listing to purchase the USA knobs and control plate at a discounted price with no additional shipping cost.
