Very sharp!

It's pretty straight forward.

(1) On the first pickup, solder the white and the red wire to each other, then wrap electrical tape around the connection. Do the same with the second pickup.

(2) Solder the balck wires, and shield (if present) wires to ground (the back of the volume pot is perfect).

(3) Solder the blue wires of each pickup to each's corresponding lug on the selector switch.

Let us know how it goes.

Is there an explanation of schmatics in jason lollars book?

Probably best to contact Jason Lollar in regards to specifics of his schematics.

Excellent links Lovekraft.

Yeah, Aspen bought the old GE production lines for the 6L6 and the 6CA7, and they've been making 6L6s for about three years and 6CA7s for a slightly shorter period of time. I don't know if they're any good, and at $90.00 a pair, I doubt I'll ever find out. AFAIK, he's still having his other tubes made in China or the former Soviet Union, including the new "Mullard"  reissue 12AX7s.

I had heard that only the "innerds" were being made in the US, and the actual tubes were being made in China or where ever.

One last question, On both of the wiring diagrams (http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/tele_bridge_hb.html) I can't tell where the red and white cables are supposed to connect, it just says "soldered together". Anyone know what this means?  I'm assuming they go somewhere...

Thanks very much for the help guys, I truely appreciate it.

For typical straightahead wiring, they do not connect to anything except each other. Solder the red and white wires together, then wrap some tape around the connection or use heat shrink insulation if you have it.

Now for a coil split push/pull switch, this red/white conection would also be soldered to one of your spliter switch lugs. See this diagram... http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...matics/hr2.html

They are using a mini-toggle switch, but with a push/pull pot it is the same.

This feature gives you the ability to switch from the hot humbucking tone to a thin, bright single coil sound with the flick of a switch.

Personally I prefer as few switches as possible...plug in and go. But that is just me.

That is an excellent idea Greg. Another way to split the coils and still have a functioning tone control is to use a push/pull pot.

Hi, I've never replaced the bridge pickup in a standard telecaster. It looks like I'm going to have to take out the saddles to remove the bridge from the body and get access to the pickup, is there a way to avoid this? Also if anyone kowns  of any links to seymour duncan little 59 or vintage rythm stack wiring diagrams off hand I would appreciate them as well.

Thanks for the help,

Tim

Tim, depending on the saddle positions you may be able to remove the bridge plate screws with removing the saddles. You just kind of push each one aside as you need to...you'll see. If you do have to remove the saddles, then just put them back on when you are done, and re-intonate with your tuner.

For your wiring diagram go to...

You would also want to switch the polepiece screws to gold as well.

You would not have to re-pot the pickups. It is recommended to put one strip of masking, or electrical tape down the center of the pickup, prior to installing the cover. This dampens the cover, keeping it from vibrating...just to be on the safe side.

Check here for covers http://www.specialtyguitars.com/accessories.html we can get the polepiece screws for you as well.

deadmike, just wire the PUP ground to the jack ground and same way with the hot.  in wiring it to the jack, in case you dont know, figure out which lead is in contact with the sleeve of the jack because this lead is for the ground and the tip is the hot

What about his volume and tone controls?

If you want to use your controls, follow this diagram...

http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/suppo...1vol_1tone.html

Disregard the red and white pickup wires, solder your pickup's bare wire to ground, and solder your pickup's grey wire to the volume pot lug that the diagram shows the black pickup wire soldered to.

Interesting that he did not show a picture of the pickup that HAS the PAF decal.

We would need to see a picture of wht you have or a wiring diagram to help sort it out.

Bump!

Sorry to sound like a pest and all that but I just shopping around trying to save a little bit of $$ that way I can spend more on the wood for my next project. Any suggestions are welcome. Any other really good texas-blues style pickups? What about burstbuckers, any good? Thanks again

Anyone?!?

Lizard King...The PG's are in that I ordered for you at your request. Please contact me. Thanks

Thank you!

Good prices too!

I really like your wood pup rings. Rosewood, flame maple & ebony, they'd make a great touch on any guitar.

Any chance that you'll have any flame maple control cavity covers in the future?

Hey thanks!

Probably won't stock control cavity covers, but if you contact me through the site, I will galdly turn you onto a guy who can take care of you. Specialty Guitars.

Bass parts are planned for the future. We can certainly try to get any bass goodies that you are looking for.

Come check us out.

We have some interesting goodies like un-potted Seymour Duncan 59's, Sperzel tuners, pre CBS vintage spec Tremolo blocks, and wooden humbucking rings.

I have been a guitar tech for quite a few years, and I enjoy answering questions and helping guitarists find just what they need for their guitars. thanks!
