Re: Keith Richards Micawber question
If you end up using the third position on this wiring, you should probably fiddle around with the 15k resistor. That value was chosen to work with a Tele neck pickup to prevent boominess and match output with the other neck position. 15k probably won't be optimal for a 59 regardless of if you use the neck or bridge model.
As far as wiring goes, the most versatile wiring I've found for an HS Tele is as follows:
3 - Neck
2 - Bridge w/neck blend
1 - Bridge w/cocked wah cap
Now this wiring doesn't have a tone control, but I don't find that to be too much of an issue with the Broadcaster pickup. Another option for position 3 is that you can add a larger cap, maybe a .1uf, in series with the pickup signal so that the cocked-wah sound is more distinct from the bridge alone position. The cocked-wah mod by itself is fairly subtle, so I generally do it in tandem with something else.
