I thought you were using a Freeway blade switch rather than a toggle switch as in the first two diagrams. The last modification diagram shows effectively what I described earlier.

What are the bodies specs? That might help inform what spare parts folks may have that might work.

Then it is wired incorrectly if 1 and 5 are splitting. You might have a blob of solder shorting between terminals, for example. Post a photograph of your wiring. They need to be clear so they can be looked at easily.

There is nothing wrong with reading old posts. But commenting on old posts and discussions that are no longer current posts and often the participants are no longer active members is a bit like talking to a wall and not adding much if anything. It is better to participate in current posts. You...

Buy a replacement neck from Thomann for example with a half paddle headstock and shape it to a V shape.

Here is a screenshot from my bumper fun book of wiring. @JoshuaB you are in luck that I happened to have this already drawn out.

If I were you, which I am not, but going by what you have said; A 1 11/16", 59 profile, would be the closest option. Aside from that, all choices of neck profiles, widths, and shapes are entirely subjective. I have requested this post be moved to General discussion, as there is no Tech Talk...

I think you need a better diagram. Who added the green lines?

To add the bare wire which shields the pickup is separated and going to ground so whatever else is happening it remains grounded, this is like when doing a Tele 4 way switching scheme. Optionally you could try it connected with the green wire, but this may create more noise in some positions...

I will explain a little more below. I have already given the solution. Whether you are using a DPDT for series / parallel of a pickup or an on-on-on such as below. So, using the below diagram as an example. The bare wire shown in grey don't connect it to the switch but to the back of a...

Yes, Tele neck mounting screws should fit through the threaded inserts in the pickups themselves. They then screw into the wood. Threaded inserts in the body would need to use the corresponding machine screws, if those also are small enough to pass through the inserts in the pickups, then the...
