I recently got my first Les Paul. It's a 50s tribute model, bought as a project (Body and neck only). I ordered everything I figured I needed and I'm getting ready to wire it up, but I had a couple questions. The pickups I got are GFS P90s. Resitance is 8.3k for the neck and 8.5k for the bridge. Besides being my first LP, it's also the first P90 guitar I've had since 1975 when I had a P90 SG for a few months.
What is the general consensus on pot sizes for P90s? The SD diagram shows 500k, which is what I bought, but I actually got them without thinking or I probably would have gotten 250k since they are single coils, but then I looked at the SD diagram and now I don't know.
Do the generalities of the different circuit effects on humbucker sound also apply to P90s or single coils in general? I'm mainly talking about 50s wiring vs modern here, as well as the independent type.
And then capacitors? Is .047 as shown in the SD diagram the norm? I think I'm going to experiment with cap sizes on this guitar before I put any thing in permanent, but I did want to see what most folks use.
Thanks!
