Hi, I'm considering putting a set of Fender N4:s in my CVC. I'm mainly using the guitar in an old house with very noisy electricity. Can I use the 4 way switch I modded the CVC with in the same mode, with a series pickup wiring in position 1? In that case, do you know where I can find a wiring scheme for the N4:s? Any other known issues with measurements etc.? Very grateful for all information in this matter.

/T

Typically, the noiseless-via-stacking type pickups are taller than regular single coils, so check that the guitar has deep enough routings for them - or be prepared to some woodworking or shimming.

I recall a distinguished and very wiring-savvy former forum member (from Mars) warning against the 4way with noiseless pickups, so one way would be to use the AmElite wiring diagram, where the series/parallel is in the S1-switch: https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Orig ... -26-15.pdf

I'm running the current Vintage Noiseless with the Baja circuit (normal, series, and phased via S-1) and it's working well.
I did have to isolate the neck cover from the coils and connect a 3rd lead.

But the N4 and "Hot Noiseless" may be taller than the Vintage, and that may be an issue if the CVC has a thinner body than the standard Tele.

Many thanks to both of you! Will check the depth of the body and the cavity and how to wire. The separate ground wire seems to be the same as the mod I did with the present real single coil neck pickup.
