I'm hoping to get this Partsocaster wired up soon, and since I was last an active pup swapper, things have changed a bit - there's more suppliers, more options, and more opinions than ever. I've also never wired anything up from scratch. If you've seen my other recent threads, I'm a professed hack at this stuff. My mods work - sometimes.
Hoping to try a new approach with this one - a "follow the instructions" approach using high quality components, probably everyday stuff for many of you I'd like to do HSS with two overwound single coils, some kind of lower output PAF in the bridge, 5-way switch, and 1 master volume/1 master tone.
1) Do I want 250k or 500k pots? Would using a no-load tone keep my singles from getting brittle and my HB from getting muddy?
2) What suppliers do you all trust for parts?
3) How about wire? Does cloth wrapped matter, is it more about the gauge of wire, or something else?
Thanks, Alex
