I've finally found the right pickup for my Squier Esquire, as you know. But I'd like to change the volume knob for a 500K one (maybe even 1Meg?) because it's a bit too dark and dull in the attack.
Since I'm doing this, I might as well play a little with the wiring. When I installed the Hot Rails, I messed up the wiring, and had to wire it to a single 250K volume, and then to the jack. No biggie. But I do kinda miss what the 3 position switch did for the options of a 1-pickup guitar.
I did, however, think that the last position of the switch (highs severely rolled off) was not particularly useful at all. Plus I'd want to play more with perhaps coil splitting and series/parallel rather than rolled-off tone settings. I'm pretty sure I don't want a tone knob. I don't like what it does, especially on a dark high-output humbucker.
So what can I do with a 3-way switch and a single volume control? I can add a push-pull volume control, mind you, so there's that as well.
Ideas? Suggestions?
