Teletastic

One way is to use a 3 way switch and wire it like a Tele with a master tone. Then the spare pot (previously tone) can be used as a volume for just the middle pickup. That way you can introduce the middle pickup to any setting. I used that system for years and really loved it.

What’s your plan sound wise?

The problem with swapping left and right handed parts is that the pots have a logarithmic sweep. So if you wire them the other way the volume won’t work evenly.

By ‘dead’ do you mean buzzing? Sounds like you just need a set up.

I recently got a set of these on the recommendation of a mate in New Zealand (they’re made there). Made my number 2 Strat into my number 1.
