Wiring a 5-way mod in a telecaster

Thank you for your response!

1) What brand of pickups are you using?

I was thinking of this Asian one to start with: a stacked noiseless PU

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).

My only other comment is to make sure you have enough depth in your pickup cavities. Those are stacked humbucker and generally quite a bit taller than standard single coils. Sometimes there is enough clearance once the pickup height is adjusted, but not always, and can require routing the cavity deeper.
