Pot/Knob Setup. Is this possible?

Re: Pot/Knob Setup. Is this possible?

Yeah I didn't know there was a such thing as a push/push pot, but now that I do I think that's what I want. I PMed Lew and he says he thinks he has all the parts in stock, he'll get me the prices when he goes back to work tomorrow. All I need is the diagram and I'll be all set (I hope).

This is what I'm doing:
I'm planning on having one push-pull tone knob/coil tapping, one push-push volume knob/killswitch, and a 3-way blade switch for bridge-middle-neck positions. I'm going to be putting a Custom in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck, not replacing the middle pickup because I don't use it.

PS: Kent, pick me up at 8?

I'll post a diagram when I get home.

I'm straight; to old for one and to young for the other; and the since they lifted that ban recently I can once again buy larger capacity magazines ...

BTW - We all love Kent.

That's what they used to tell me at one of my old jobs, which apparently made sense because I was always getting screwed!

To show how little I know, I didn't even know I needed capacitors. What are these for in a guitar, and what type do I need?

Kent, either way you swing, everybody has a little gay part to them. Mine happens to be my left hand.

Caps are used in the tone circuit of the instrument, in a typical tone circuit they shunt high frequencies to ground in varying proportions set by the tone control (there's a little more to that, but basically that what it does).
Start with a cap value of .022uF (the small u means micro, as in one-millionth, ... x10^-6) get a cap rated at at least 100Volts and 10% tolerance, any shop will have those.

Secondly, maybe if you move to 'Frisco you'll be happier, that's your call,
but insulting people who are trying to help you generally doesn't speak well of one's person.
