ToneShapers Wiring Kit, for Telecaster HH (Requires 4-Conductor Humbuckers)

Fender created the Big Apple Strat in the 1990s to marry some of the most popular Strat tones (positions 2/4) with the humbucker tones of a Gibson (positions 1/3/5):

• 5: Neck HB
• 4: Neck SC
• 3: Neck HB + Bridge HB
• 2: Neck SC + Bridge SC
• 1: Bridge HB

So of course we thought "Man, wouldn't that be cool in a Tele? But then, you'd need a superswitch that would fit in a Tele." Well, it happens that we have just such a switch!

Our HH1 scheme employs Big Apple wiring, but our second position uses one screw coil and one slug coil from the pickups to retain hum-canceling. We use a 500k volume pot since this is the value most humbuckers are voiced with, but we've added functionality that drops the pot's value to 250k in the 2/4 positions, so the "Fender" positions will sound most convincing.
