Use the same schematic for a telecaster but with a .025 mf capacitor and 500k pots instead (or whatever you like). Someone else may have a better suggestion, but that's what I would do.

.025 uf cap and 500k pots should produce a very bright tone.

Classic Fender configuration is 250k pots and .047 uf cap.

Just another option.

Edit: Neck Hot ---------0

0---------- To Center Pole on Volume Pot

Bridge Hot ---------0

SPDT Center-On Switch. These can be hard to find. DPDT Center-On Switch ... just bridge the dual pole with your leads; -------0---0

0---0--------

-------0---0

Hope this helps.

Wow ... that didn't come out quite as I'd hoped.

I really like the sound of that configuration with the tone knob rolled back to 5 or so. For me, it pretty much works for everything.
