Hello,
I just bought a JB Jr, Little 59, and a Phat Cat that I'm swapping into my MIM HSS Strat, and I've had a lot of difficulty finding a wiring diagram that totally describes putting 2 mini humbuckers + 1 P90 single coil together, so I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to best combine these pickups?
I am putting the mini humbuckers in the neck/middle and the phat cat in the bridge.
I figured I'll probably want two 250k push/pull pots for the tones so that I can split the humbuckers, and then I know I'll need at least one (or two? Unsure) .047 uF caps, as well as a 5 way superswitch. I was deciding between doing a concentric 250k/500k volume pot VS just compromising and using something like a 300k pot, probably leaning towards the 300 for simplicity.
My question is mostly if this sounds sensible or if I'm leaving anything out? Also, would following any HSH diagram give me a decent guide to start with? I'm very new to wiring pickups and this will be my first time hooking up all new pickups and pots from scratch! Thanks for any help!
