TL- electronic or pickup upgrades

Good result!

Also because I haven't found a schematic for volume push-pull parallel switching. Still going through the archives.

Most diagrams you'll find online do show the push-pull on the tone pot, however you can use the push/pull pot on the volume the exact same way. Just connect the wires shown on the tone pot version to the switch portion of the push/pull volume pot. Think of the switch as a separate entity (even though it's physically connected to a pot).

I'm going to be doing the same mod to one of my teles, except I'm using a push/push pot.

Here's a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hHPxAQu4NA

And remember you need to ground the cover of the neck pickup separately (covered in the video).

EDIT TO ADD:
Not to split hairs here, but technically the mod is "series switching" not parallel switching as you stated above.
The standard tele switching configuration puts the neck & bridge pickups in parallel when used together already. The switch (via push/pull, 4-way etc) puts them in series.

You may split hairs, otherwise, I'll never learn.


Thanks for sharing that video and clarifying that I need to see that part of the push/pull pot as a separate entity, makes sense!
Do you think upgrading the kits 3-way switch to an Oak Grigsby or standard Fender US one is going to make a difference?
I have connected wires to it now a couple of times now and it is starting to look a bit hammered, that's why.
