Is there a way to wire a 4 way switch with a neck humbucker and bridge single coil on a telecaster? David www.myspace.com/reverbunit

Yes but you need to have a separate earth wire. You could rewire a 2-conductor pickup like a Gibson 57 Classic. Steve.
Hello thanks for the two replys. Since i posted i have bought a telecaster 72 RI wide range humbucker , they always look and sound nice. Its coming from the usa and cost £30 new. I have a 4 way swtich somewhere and like the extra tone. I thought it was the neck pickup that changed polarity on a usual mod. I think all the nashville teles are mexican by the way David -- www.myspace.com/reverbunit "Steve Robinson" wrote in message news:i1sdk.288101$1B6.156938@newsfe21.ams2... > "d mumford" wrote in message > news:48764b33$1_4@mk-nntp-2.news.uk.tiscali.com... >> Is there a way to wire a 4 way switch with a neck humbucker and bridge >> single coil on a telecaster? > > Yes but you need to have a separate earth wire.

That's why you need a separate earth wire. I think that the Fender Wide Range Humbucker has only 2 conductors - inner and the braid? Those on the 1973 Tele Deluxe that I rewired today certainly did. Personally, I don't think that the reissues sound as nice as the originals but Bulldog pickups did a superb rewind on one that transformed it into something very chimey* indeed.
