Hey all,
It's time for my new project: a midnight sparkling tele.
For the PU wiring I was thinking of this mod:
Attachment 44182
Just a few questions:
1. I'm gonna use noiseless pickups, so 5 wire PU's, do I just solder the start wires together and the end wire too?
2. I'm using a 5-way import switch, how would the connection to the switch be then?

3. For a treble bleed, I just add a 100k cap to the .022 cap?
Thank you so much already for your input
Cheers
1) What brand of pickups are you using?Quote:

3) Treble bleeds go in series on the volume pot (soldered between "in" and "out" lugs, IYKWIM)
Cap and resistor values are all personal preference. It can be done with a cap only, or cap/resistor series/parallel configuration. Too many to list here (actually I'm just being lazy). Lots of good info online. Just research a bit.
Thank you for your response!
I was thinking of this Asian one to start with: a stacked noiseless PUQuote:

Ok, so with that one, the coil finish wires (red & white) are pre-soldered. You'll want to insulate those with heat-shrink or electrical tape so they don't cause a short against any other parts of the circuit. Then just solder the green & bare to ground, and the black will be your positive signal wire (hot).Quote:

Sometimes there is enough clearance once the pickup height is adjusted, but not always, and can require routing the cavity deeper.
Thank you!
Indeed, the PU cavity needs a check before ordering. Will do so.
