I would like to mod my Tele Deluxe, and I have a few ideas, but I'm not certain they're possible. Let me know what you think and feel free to draw me diagrams!
My first idea is to put a Dano Lipstick single between the WRHB's. I would like to replace the toggle with a 6 way rotary switch wired so that you could have all 5 strat-esque combinations, plus the original bridge/neck combination.
Is this possible? I'm not too concerned with hum-canceling on the in between positions.
Second idea is this: Wire the knobs to mimic a JM/Jag in that, instead of a volume and tone for each pup, I'd like to have 2 different values of knobs with a little switch added. So the top volume and tone have the stock value of 250k and would run all pups when selected, and the bottom two knobs would have a value of, say, 500k(maybe 1meg?) and also run all pups when switched on. Like a rhythm and a lead circuit. Am I explaining myself clearly enough?
What little I know about wiring I've learned from you guys, so please edify me further!
Can anyone give me some wiring advice for my Tele Deluxe?

Dano p/us are pretty weak so I don't how they would blend w/ the buckers. Can you split the buckers on a Deluxe?

You'll need to rout the body for that, as the switch cavity isn't large enough.Loomer wrote:My first idea is to put a Dano Lipstick single between the WRHB's.

Not big enough for a rotary switch?

Nope. Rotary switches are the same size as a full-size pot, and the cavity's not large enough (by half a centimeter). A smaller pot would fit, though.Loomer wrote: Not big enough for a rotary switch?

Can I just take a wide drill bit to it and boar out a bigger hole?
