There comes a time in every Tele® player's life when you try to find the right sound for the middle position on your three way switch. One of the questions asked is: How do I change the sound of the middle position without changing the sound of the other two? Here is a simple way to wire your middle position that allows you to put your bridge and neck pickups in parallel or series with the push or pull of your tone control, without affecting the other two traditional sounds. All you need is a push/pull potentiometer, a soldering iron, and a little knowledge of how to solder. If you prefer you can use a DPDT mini toggle-switch and mount it between the two pots on the control plate, whichever works best for you. Either way, the wiring diagram will work.
