Actually, all I wanted is to split the bridge humbucker. One of my guitars has a Dimarzio DP1111 3-way switch that does exactly that (as well as several other options), but I was wondering if a 3-way Tele switch could do it. I already knew a 5-way can.

Well then Warmoth must now be doing their H-S-H routes the same as Fender (which is universal), which would eliminate the need for the "swimming pool" route. You might want to call them to confirm, or ask Aaron.

It would have to be a universal route. A single coil pickup will not fit in a standard humbucker route (the pickup is too long).

Years ago I wired my Fender Strat for the Steve Vai JEM configuration, which turns off one coil of the bridge or neck humbucker in the #2 and #4 switching positions respectively, with the standard 5-way switch. I have since re-wired it back to the standard 5-way configuration (with different...

Like metals can seize. Dissimilar metals don't. I'd like to know how brass inserts "suck". I have 2 guitars with them and they work great.

Oh wow! :cool:

You need a forstner bit. Drill it the right size the first time. Drilling in incremental sizes will cause chip-out. Taping over the holes won't help anything. Not sure why you want stainless steel. Brass might be better (with stainless screws). I got mine from McMaster Carr.

I use lint-free cloths that are typically used in clean environment manufacturing. I don't know what kind of material it is.

The high action is a little "cleaner" due to less fret buzz, and there is slightly more sustain, but the tone is pretty much the same either way. I run 4/64" minimum to 5/64" maximum @ 12th fret, and it's the same for all 6 strings. Because I'm a bit heavy-handed, I run 026-036-046 for the wound...

I've never had that problem on any guitar. I don't know if climate is a factor or not, but I live in a very dry climate.

I know you weren't, but I did. And I didn't give you a "theory", I stated a fact. In any case, all my Trembuckers sound great. Whether or not the DCR affects sound or not; I really don't know.

Me too. Now if I could just play the damn things...

Have you rubbed it on your face yet??

Well I don't know if it has anything to do with the sound, but Trembuckers have a higher DCR because the bobbins are wider, which means more wire is required to achieve the same number of winds as the standard size bobbins. More length of wire equals more resistance (just as smaller gauge wire...
