My beloved 2003 Squier Standard Telecaster (Indonesia) is going to be upgraded with a new kit of pickups, Fender Texas Specials. Since I have the Cor-Tek switch in my guitar, the standard wiring diagram is not usable as the Cor-Tek switch got 8 terminals and differ from the standard switch.

I need a "translator-diagram" to help me cross over from the standard Fender type switch to Cor-Tek type switch. Would you be so good to help me with this?

Also there is the 3rd wire, how should it be connected?

I'm curious about trying some different wiring also, but before I get the standard schematic switch translated into the Squier type switch, I'm grounded.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards /Frants

Check Fender, they should have a schematic for this, the TS are a great little upgrade for a Tele, you might want to think about one of the best upgrades for Tele pickups and that is a 4 way switch, check the Seymour Duncan website for more details (I believe the Merle Haggard signature has this mod).

Why a diagram ? Just solder your new pickups at same switch lug than "old" pickups was.

Do a sketch yourself

I don't see a third wire on Fender Texas Special pickups . You have a link ?

The Texas Special neck pickup has 3 wires, white and black from the coil and yellow is ground to the cover tab.
It makes life easier with a 4 way switch.
