Today I'm upgrading my guitar (lemmy.ml)

Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.

Is that a 5 position switch? Why go with that when you have 2 pickups ?

You can actually add two HOOP(Half Out of Phase) wiring setups to double single coil guitars, and get some extra tone options and utilize a 5 way switch.

That’s cool as fuck.

It's actually a 4-way switch, the modes I ended up having are:

  1. Neck and bridge in series
  2. Neck
  3. Neck and bridge in parallel
  4. Bridge
