I've got a 69 Thinline Tele RI which I love, but I want to have some way to blend the pickups a little bit (without making any irreversible changes). The thought of losing the tone knob doesn't appeal to me, so the 51 wiring is out.
My thought was to use something like Stewart-MacDonald's 5-way Super Switch: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics ... ml#details
If I wire it with some resistors across the mid-center positions I should be able to reduce the output of one or other pickup, giving me switch positions something like this: 1)neck, 2)neck+1/2bridge, 3)neck+bridge, 4)1/2neck+bridge, 5)bridge.
So I've got the concept, but I can't find a wiring diagram to make it happen and I'm not skilled enough to draw one out of thin air. Anyone have any ideas? I'm down for experimenting, but I don't even really know where to start!
