I am re-wiring my Strat. It is a 2013 American Deluxe with HSS pickgaurd.
It has S-1 and Fast Lane button.
I like the humbucker for the most part, but it's not fantastic. The N3 pickups are super low output (for me anyway), and just don't have much Strat-like tone.
I'm thinking that new pickups will get me closer to a good all around rock guitar. Plus, they will make the output of the guitar a little higher so that I don't have to always adjust my amp when changing guitars.
My new pickups will be:
STK-S7 - Neck
STK-S4N - Middle
PATB-1 w/alnico 8 magnet in the bridge
I was following this drawing: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...tks4_1v_2t_s5w
But, I am unsure about the volume pot being 250K with the Parallel Axis.
I ended up with:
500K volume
250K tone for neck (would like to do neck and middle on same tone pot but I'm not sure how to do it) w/.033 cap
500K tone for bridge w/.047 cap
How do you guys think the STK's will act with 500K pots? Will they be too shrill?
Should I be thinking about a 250K volume and maybe no tone pot for the bridge to keep it lively but to tame the neck and middle?
Also, how would I wire up the middle tone pot so that it works with the neck and middle pickups?
Thanks!
