Hey, my first post on this fine forum. Just bought a riff raff humbucker and a brown sugar bridage, decided to fit them myself with a Coil Split for the riff raff and a 'N-tune' Inbuilt tuner push pull on the bridge.
I've wired it all together and can get everything to work....apart from both push pulls.
I need help lol
my push pull pot wiring for the neck riff raff looks like this
0 = soldered
-----0----- < have a bridge ground wire here and also a ground wire that goes to the top of my tone pot
[] [] < nothing here
- [] < the green and white soldered together here
[] [] < nothing here
-

- < FAR LEFT red wire and wire to middle of volume pot...MIDDLE Pickup selector wire...RIGHT ground wire
I followed the 4 conductor wiring with coil split option diagram i received with the hum-bucker but allas i can't get a coil split
The N-Tune is alittle more tricky...have followed that and it doesn't a) tell me any notes b) bypass the sound.
been at it for two days now, taking apart and trying again. any help would be mucho appreciated.
It seemed so simple.....but now confusing the hell out of me.

forgot to mention it is a 72 tele custom reissue. x

Any chance of a close up photo
From what I can tell you havent put an earth wire across two tags on the push pull switch
If you have the green and white wires joined and connected to the middle tag
You need a wire running from the tag that is nearest the body of the pot and then the other end of that is connected to the pot itself
I have a copy of the wiring for the N Tuner and it seems straight forward - but it might just be a question of which wire to attach to where to make it work on a tele custom

Hey cheers, I'll take some photos when I get out of work.

Hey, my camera doesn't seem to be working, but i took your advice and (for the time being...still trying to work out the wiring) managed to get the push pull on the neck pickup working...however an unusual thing occured. the inbuilt tuner would work in the middle position of the switch, but with a 'fuzz' sound. So i took it out and soldered another ground on the 'neck' pickup which stoped the middle position problem.
But now I get a bypass on the bridge, but no tuning. I think it's gonna be a long testing process to get it right. Im not used to fitting pickups etc (the only other time i did something liked this was a p90 in a one vol. one tone guitar)
I'll add photos when i get my camera fixed next week. I'll also draw a schematics of what it looks like at the moment and post it saturday.

I've decided to give the guitar to a luther to fix for me, I showed it him and he said it was the n-tune.
thanks for the help
