Tele with 2 Humbuckers and a strange 5-way switch

[kelcy]

I'm working on a Telecaster that originally had a humbucker in the neck and a single in the bridge. The single in the bridge is being replaced by a Seymour Duncan JB Mini humbucker.

So far, I've put the finishes together and grounded the south start and bare wire to the volume pot. But, because of the strange 5-way switch, I can't figure out where the hot wire should go.

The switch looks like a 5-way Super Switch, but with only one set of 12 in-line terminals. There two groups of five and one on each end.

Can anyone help me figure out which terminal to use?

I would solder it to the same place the hot wire went from the pickup you are replacing.

I agree with Jag.
put it back where you took it off.
Here is probably the switch you have.

I took the original pickup out a few days ago and marked the terminal with an alligator clip... that promptly fell off as I was putting the guitar back onto the counter. I know, I'm an idiot, but that's what happened.

It's not a super switch, so I can't apply that diagram.

No problem, stick a picture on here of it.
Another thing to do is take your ohm meter, and check through the switch as you walk through the 5 posistions.
With a picture, I bet someone will recognize it.
Good Luck,

You did say two groups of six, right? I was hoping this would help:

Get a cheap meter and set it for continuity. Now you will be able to map out the terminals.

You should also be able to see it when you switch it.

Thanks for the help, everybody, I've got it now!
