Full Version: Tele Rewire
GMC Forum > Discussion Boards > GEAR & PRODUCTION
Joe
Hi GMC,

I have an 'aerodyne' telecaster put out by fender that I acquired a couple years ago. It's accumulated some electronics problems, and I bought new pickups. I want to completely rewire this thing, but I don't know how. Luckily, I know someone that can do it for me, but what I need to know is what I need for the rewire.

The guitar has a seymour p-90 in the neck and a hot rails for tele in the bridge position. Also the switch is in kind of gibson LP position on the upper shoulder. I have some pics here, it doesn't look like I need a lot of wire. Should I replace caps? Input jack? Switch? I'm going to get some new knobs as well, but I won't show you guys the front of the guitar til it's finished smile.gif I found this site, acmeguitarworks.com which has rewiring kits, can anyone take a look at the telecaster kit for me and see if it's good?

Anyway, on to the pictures. I hope these will give you guys what you need to know to tell me what I need to get wink.gif

Do you guys think this would work?

Looks sufficient except for the 3 way switch that should be the LP toggle.
Sounds like fun, and not too much of a cord pit in there to struggle with smile.gif

But... there's a white cord with a shrink hose and no other cords attached. That looks fishy to me. Is that right?


EDIT: Assuming your friend has all the soldering tools?
Joe
He does have all the tools.

About the wire, I don't really know tongue.gif Not sure which one you're talking about..

Hopefully I could get a gibson switch thrown in there if I ask, instead of the tele.

I would love to rewire that Tele for you. biggrin.gif

this kit looks OK, but I'm not sure about that 5-way switch. Shouldn't you get a 3 way one?
