Hi All. I am modding my USA Standard Telecaster (HB in neck, original single coil in bridge). I'm removing the tone control, adding a volume control for each pickup and adding a master volume control via a new pot on the control plate. Possibly using a split pot/double pot for the pickups to save space. I'm doing this to get the Gretsch style master volume when you dial in the right volume on both pickups. Thanks.

Just use the Gretsch wiring diagram for that configuration. (Your 3-way will be different.)

Unfortunately, they don't mention pot values. I'd probably use 1-meg's for that configuration.

Would love to open up its sound a little. Replacing the individual pickup volumes would involve a F-hole hassle.
If I were going that far I'd probably replace the whole harness which uses infamously high-capacitance wire.
But there's easy back-panel access for the master.
Do you guys think a 1Meg master pot would make an appreciable difference if the others remain 250K?.
