ToneShaper Guitar Wiring Kit, For Fender Telecaster, SS1 (Modern Wiring)

We call this wiring “modern” because Fender didn’t start out wiring Teles this way (in fact, there were a couple of different circuits used in the Tele’s first 17 or so years, neither of which is familiar to most younger Tele players). Fender finally settled on their current Tele wiring in 1967, and once adopted, it became the standard wiring for Teles. It’s used almost universally by Fender for current Tele production, and even for some of the vintage reissue guitars (such as the Classic Series ‘50s Tele, which features this wiring). Modern wiring consists of a 3-way switch, with a master volume and a master tone. The available pickup combinations are: Position 3: Neck Pickup Position 2: Bridge & Neck Pickups in Parallel Position 1: Bridge Pickup Players with reverse-wound, reverse-polarity pickups receive the benefit of hum-cancellation in position 2.
