    That is 1 humbucker and 1 single coil, right? I'd probably use 500k pots as the single coil would be on the hot & dark side depending on what pickup you end up with. What passives are you switching to? CTS or Bournes pots are standards, as well as a Switchcraft jack if you want to switch that out.

      You can use a 500k for the humbucker
      and add a 500k resistor between the start of the single coil and ground
      this will make the single see the pot as a 250k
      While the humbucker sees the full 500k

      if the switch and jack look alright leave em
      You can up grade to pure tone jacks if you want

        Hello Mincer, yes 1 humbucker and 1 slant single coil in neck, both emg pickups and obviously emg pots. Is there certain size shaft I would have to go with due to having emg pots in it?
