4 positions je vois, mais la 5ème va servir à quoi ?
in the front position of the 5-way switch, the two pickups are wired together in series, giving an incredibly full, fat-sounding middle position. In the rear position, a small amount of the neck pickup signal is blended with the full signal from the bridge, beefing up the bottom end while keeping all that classic tele twang.
The middle three positions on Monty’s 5-way harness are exactly the same as a normal telecaster 3-way, so you don’t have to worry about losing any of the iconic sounds that we all know and love.
When two pickups are wired together, they are normally wired in parallel, just like a standard telecaster middle position. Parallel wiring is perhaps most simply described as wiring two independent circuits together: the resulting output is essentially the average output of the two pickups.
The front position on Monty’s 5-way telecaster wiring harness wires the pickups together in series. This combines the two pickups into one circuit, a technique most notably used for the middle position on Danelectro guitars. The total output is the combined output of the two pickups, giving an increase in volume and an incredibly warm, fat sound.
The rear position on our telecaster 5-way is another variant on series wiring; as with the front position, the pickups are wired together in series. However, a resistor is used to bleed most of the signal from the neck pickup to ground. This results in a sound that is halfway between standard series wiring and the bridge pickup alone: fat and creamy but with all the bright, punchy articulation you would expect from a Telecaster bridge pickup.
Edit : j'avais pas vu que plusieurs personnes avaient posé la question
