Telecaster Stock 3 way switch wiring
This is the standard wiring for Telecasters as soon as Fender figured
out that we wanted to have both pickups on at the same time.
The older wiring did not allow for both pickups on at once. It has a
capacitor for an extreme treble cut as one of the positions - an
automatic tone control.
With stock pickups this wiring uses 250k volume and tone pots and a .05
or .047 (same thing) tone capacitor.
We have added a Torres Engineering volume kit to the drawing for better
performance.

This does NOT require Telecaster pickups, it can be used with any two
pickup setup if you have the strat/tele type selector switch.
