Used on many Custom Shop instruments, this switch allows you to change your Telecaster's pickup wiring from Series to Parallel wiring for increased output and a fatter tone with the flick of a switch.
If your serious about tone and finding the right upgrade for your Tele this is the one you've been waiting for... It will give a added dimention of tone you will not be able to find in any other guitar. The 4th position puts the pickups in series producing a "humbucker" or "fat" sound. The combination afforded by the 4 way is wonderful.

Earvana - Compensated Tuning Systems for Guitars
Inventor Rick Logacono and JP Cervoni explaining just how the Earvana Compensated Tuning System works. Earvana manufactures and distributes revolutionary guitar intonation technology.
The patented technology is a uniquely designed nut created to improve the sound of your guitar. www.earvana.com
You have probably noticed that it is nearly impossible to tune your guitar so that the chords in the first 5 frets ring true for any open chords.
Earvana has solved this problem by developing a nut that compensates for the errors that are inherent in 99% of all stringed instruments.
Earvana
Compensated Guitar Nuts
Guitar players will tell you that open chords are never in tune with each other, since most fingered notes are sharp of the desired pitch. It is impossible for them to sound correct with a basic straight nut, since a straight nut is made to address each string the same way. Only by shortening the distance of each string individually in relation to the first fret & the 12th fret will enable your guitar to achieve the proper interval pitch. This is precisely the result achieved with the EARVANA Compensated Tuning System! Earvana has designed the Compensated Nut to provide the most accurate intonation available, to achieve total balance throughout the entire fretboard on a guitar. This innovative technology is based on a scientific calculation that allows the correct degree of compensation at the neck and bridge. It took years to perfect this technology, resulting in the Earvana Compensated Nut. Your guitar will never sound better!

Hi,
Very sorry to bother you, can I ask a small piece of technical advice ?
I got a Tele with 4-way switching, all done and fine. I was wondering if I could do the same to another one using a Strat pickup on the neck ( without metal cover ).
If yes, than all is great, no further questions.
If no, then this particular Strat pickup does have a bottom plate underneath like a Tele bridge pickup ( with a Strat single-coil shape ), can it be used to connect to the 4-way switch as If it was the neck pickup coverplate ?
Your help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
