  • New build, new pickups. What about the electrics?

    I'm in the process of building a new, solidbody guitar but need some help with the electrics. It will have a single coil/rail hybrid, a single in the middle and a mini humbucker in the bridge. I've heard that this presents problems with pot values. The electrics will have one master volume, a five way super switch and two tones, using this circuit.
    Does anyone have advice about what value pots to use, or if using a capacitor in parallel with the single coils will help tame the differences between the pot resistance values?

    Note - my aim is to build something that is reminiscent of my favourite tones without necessarily replicating them, so don't be concerned that the single coil sound in the neck doesn't sound exactly like Little Wing.
