Just wanted to drop a note to thank you for your article about the T-Riffic
wiring scheme.  I also had a couple suggestions you might want to add.

I've set up my Tele with a Texas Special in the neck and a Duncan Little 59
at the bridge.
I had originally set myself up with the Yamaha 5-way like so:

1. Neck
2. Neck + one coil of '59, parallel
3. Neck + both coils of '59, all parallel
4. One coil of '59
5. Both coils of '59, series

...and a push-pull to switch the phase on the neck.  Nice, but lacking,
since the Little '59 is pretty sickly-sounding when split.  I then switched
back to the standard wiring, except this time I used the push-pull to switch
the '59 between series and parallel.  Ah, there it is; it just sings in
parallel, but I still have series for leads.  One caveat here is that I had
to switch the polarity of the neck pickup, since it was out of phase with
the '59.

Then I read up on your T-Riffic scheme and figured I'd give it a shot, since
I still had the 5-way sitting around.  I left the push-pull doing
series/parallel for the '59 by itself, so now I've got:

1. Neck only
2. Neck and bridge series, out of phase, bridge parallel with itself
(twangy)
3. Neck and bridge series, out of phase, bridge series with itself (super
twangy, sounds like an old radio - think the very first part of the intro to
"Wish You Were Here")
4. Neck and bridge parallel, bridge parallel with itself (standard middle
position sound)
5. Neck and bridge parallel, bridge series with itself (close to #4,
slightly more output)
6. Neck and bridge series, in phase, bridge parallel with itself (close to
#4, a bunch more output)
7. Neck and bridge series, in phase, bridge series with itself (super hot,
more middy, but still close to #4 in feel)
8. Bridge only, parallel with itself (lower output, vintage single-coil
sound)
9. Bridge only, series with itself (Les Paul territory, sounds like a HO
humbucker)

Now the only thing I've got to do is figure out how to use all the different
sounds.  :)

Anyways, thanks for your scheme, and feel free to quote me on your page if
you want.  (If you put something up about this, remember to mention that the
leads on the neck pickup need to be switched.)
