Good choices there Doc, I absolutely love my Hot Classics so much tone range it's not funny

I had a look through all the Telecaster wiring-diagrams in my guitar Player Repair Guide book I bought from Stewmac, and settled on opting to wire-up my custom Telecaster as per a 1966 Fender Standard Telecaster, as it seems the most popular, and it looked the most versatile, so once wired up, the pickup combinations are as follows:


Position 1 Neck Pickup + Tone Control.

Position 2 Neck Pickup + Bridge Pickup + Tone Control.

Position 3 Bridge Pickup + Tone Control.

That's how all three of my Teles are wired, one has vintage Schaller humbuckers, one has Blackguard spec single coils and the third has the Tonerider Hot Classics.

Three very different voices and all fun to play.

Should add, the HB Tele has a Wilkinson compensated top strung three saddle hard tail style bridge, the Thinline ( Blackguard pups ) stock Tele three saddle strung through bridge and the Tuff Dog with the Hot Classics has a six saddle strung through Wilkinson bridge

The hardware kit I'm going to be ordering for my custom Tele build includes a Wilkinson bridge that features three brass compensated saddles, I've never tried Wilkinson guitar parts before so this custom Tele build is a good enough excuse to give it a go.
