T-Riffic original drawing by John Atchley

Once upon a time, I started a guitar project, and then it laid dormant for almost 20 years.  But I always finish what I start...

Well, the wiring plan began in the 2000's with a visit to the original GuitarNuts site with the intent to use John Atchley's T-Riffic wiring scheme. I printed off the web page with the schematic to be used after I refinished the guitar body (whereby it languished in the basement for a time!). Years later, I revive the project and want to confirm my switching scheme; I hopped on GN2 here, and discovered that not all of Mr. Atchley's work survived into archive.

A "recent" 4yo post unearthed the fact that the T-Riffic build-out project is MIA. I only can offer one page of it, though -- mostly for posterity.  And for anyone else who has a 4P5T Yamaha super switch to employ!

It's a nifty combo of the normally-accessed Neck/Neck+Bridge/Bridge of two SC pickups plus the B*N series and B*N (out of phase) on a 5-position 4-pole super switch.  I like the use of two tone controls and how they may be flexibly configured using T-Riffic.  Without further adieu...

Here's a simple drawing of T-Riffic that uses the Oak-Grigsby 4P5T super switch.  A basic Telecaster-style wiring setup and tone knob drawn here, but you can be creative and make use of the empty fourth pole to do fancy tone control(s).

Theorage-

Thanks for posting this. You didn't ask, but I checked it and your diagram looks good by me.
