"Push for Tele" strat wiring
I've seen a lot of wiring diagrams for the Gilmour mod, and similar mods, but none of them seemed to allow the pickup being switched on to have a tone control. In this case I used a Push/Push pot so I don't have to mess with grabbing and pulling it.
This mod wires the bridge and neck together with the mod activated, and reroutes the bridge and middle tone control to Tone 1, creating a master tone control.
I think it's an elegant solution for more control, and makes a quackier, fuller tele sound with the bridge and neck together! All 3 together gets a little muddy, but sometimes that is useful. Plus I like the idea of switching the controls to a tele layout with the push of a button.
In the pictures of my guitar, I had to swap the lead from B3 on the switch to the tone pot to the right-most lug after I took the pictures. On my pot, wiring it to the left-most lug made it work in reverse.
And yes I know I should have probably ordered shorter length pots. I made a mistake when ordering, and just didn't care enough to get the shorter ones. Everything fits nicely in my guitar with plenty of clearance, so they are staying this way. Plus it allowed wires to sit between the pot and the pickguard nicely.
Hopefully I've saved someone some time, and maybe there is a better solution out there.
