This is probably an age -old question that's been answered many times over. Generally, When installing a hot rails in the bridge position of a Fender Stratocaster, do you keep the 250k pots or do you change to 500k? I'm thinking its best to keep 250k all around?
To further complicate things.......
I'm putting together a parts mutt guitar that will use a left-handed Strat body flipped over & strung right- handed. I haven't decided on electronics for sure.....but I'll probably go for a hot rails in the bridge & maybe cool rails in neck & middle.
Anyway...due to space constraints on the lefty pickguard & to keep as much stuff out of the way of my picking arm & hand, I'm thinking of using a two knob set up. One knob for a volume control & the other knob a 5 way rotary pickup selector switch. I typically don't use tone controls.
In this case, would the 500k for the volume be too hot & the 250k more appropriate?
Any thoughts, anyone? Please share. Thanks.
