help needed for 2 position tele lever switch wiring (or alt 3 way)
Hi guys
I am trying to build a strange guitar wiring involving a 2 position tele lever switch. Yeah you red well, a 2 way lever switch.
And also 1 pot only for volume.
What I want to do ? Pos 1 (lever close to neck) VOL for pickup / Pos 2 (lever close to bridge) pickup straight to output.
Is that doable ? Can someone point me to such wiring diagram as I can't seem to find any over the web.
Would alternatively consider a wiring with a 3 way lever switch that would be 1 kill / 2 volume / 3 straight pu out
Thanks in advance for you help
Cheers
Fabz

I think you can wire a 3-way so that two positions do the same thing? Or just do the kill/with pot/straight to jack idea.

thanks for your reply
If I could do kill/with pot (vol only, will not use a tone) /straight to jack it would be awesome !

Re: help needed for 2 position tele lever switch wiring (or alt 3 way)
you need to cross some wiring
the first
https://www.seymourduncan.com/wiring-di ... -all,teles
and a second
a kill switch is just signal to ground (instead going to pickup you go to the ground
for kill switch

and for 3 way translation

You need a DPDT switch, like the push-pull used for similar purpose here ...
http://guitarwiring.blogspot.com/2011/0 ... h-mod.html
.. or the toggle switch here ...

You take the single input (from your single pickup) and either send it direct to the output jack, or to - and from - the vol pot.

thanks guys
I would like to avoid the extra switch
I believe it can be done with the standard tele lever switch

Re: help needed for 2 position tele lever switch wiring (or alt 3 way)
for sure
wire the leveler for
position 1 pickup + volume
pos 2 pickup without voulme direct to ground
pos 3 kill switch ( signal jack to selector to ground)
i look at i have time but it is not hard to do
i take the selector wiring on seymour hope yours is similar ,if not you just have to test with a multimeter to know what contact work with the other side

done Fab
you can choose between position 2 and 3 you just need to invert the wire from jack or volume to have the invert way volume or no with
where on the selector i have writen 1 /2/3 is the position and also the short you have to wire the other side of the selector

wow
thanks Ludo !
I presume the Vol pot needs to have the unused leg grounded right ?
