Telecaster® Four-Way Switching Mod

Related Video

The recipient of this mod was an MIM Fender Squier Series Telecaster®. Components used for this mod/upgrade included an Allparts EP-4374-000 Four-Way Oak Grigsby Switch for Telecaster®, Emerson 0.047uF tone cap, two Seymour Duncan 500K Smooth-Turning Pots, Switchcraft jack, Gavitt® wire, conductive copper foil; and conductive shielding paint. The wiring scheme was generally based on that by Fralin Pickups. The single crucial aspect of the Telecaster® Four-Way Switching Mod is the addition of a separate ground wire for the neck pickup cover [Image 7]. Other than this, it's business as usual.
