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 PickupPosition 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.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. The pots feel buttery smooth and are a massive upgrade from the stock ones in my Squier Tele upgrade project. I used this to actually set up my control plate backwards and out of order, as I’m heavily used to a Stratocaster setup where the volume knob is right close to your pinky while playing. It took me a few hours of soldering to get everything totally pulled apart, then back together. I used the PTFE wire instead of the cloth, but it’s nice that you have both options.This kit came with an extra cap that allows you to do the treble bleed volume mod, which is a really nice touch (I have this done on my American Stratocaster.The only sad thing was that it was tough to get the volume knobs from my tele kit on, and the plastic cap on the pickup selector appears to be too small in the whole to fit. Aside from those minor gripes, I’m extremely happy with this kit and give it 5 stars

Nice to have everything in one package. The pots were both weak though, 236k and 243k

Currently building a telecaster with my son and he wanted a treble bleed (He has one on his G&L Tribute S500). This kit was perfect as it includes everything needed to wire up the control plate (not included). All parts are excellent quality and there is plenty of both braided and insulated wiring included.Very happy with the kit, and will definitely use more of them in future.

Absolutely, hands down, the best wiring kit for a telecaster out there. Everything from the the pots to the switch was top level quality. Comes with two options for wiring, either vintage waxed or modern and the output jack is very robust and fits the plug perfectly unlike the cheaper kits where you have to bend the tongue to hold the plug in. Pots are butter smooth and switch is very solid. Ive built a few guitars and and have purchased many different wiring kits and this is definitely the one I'm sticking with. Price wise actually cheaper by a few dallors than some other ones I've purchased in the passed and actually comes with extra wiring and a treble bleed! After purchasing so many wiring kits I'm absolutely blown away by the quality, definitely recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade their current wiring set up or anyone who builds guitars you wont be disappointed.
