Hey ! John the newbie here with another newbie question. I just bought SD Hot Rodded HB set and wondering which pots to use. Most of the Humbucker diagrams show 500K pots. Should I go with the 500's or with 250'S ? The pups are going into a mahogany Tele with a quilted Maple top. Please help...

Hello ! I have a chambered tele with a humbucker route in the neck position. I want a pickup combination that would be excellent for blues and classic rock. Which SD humbucker would you suggest for the neck ? - I have the opportunity to buy a used Pearly Gates HB and was wondering if this...

Can I use a blend pot to split a humbucker ? The center detent would be a full humbucker and from there I could dial in any percentage of the 2 coils. Ex: 90/10 - 60/40 - 87/13 - 100/0 - would this work ? Thanks in advance. John

I am looking at a couple of the SD wiring diagrams and need to know what they actually do. The first one is titled, "2 Humbuckers, 1 volume, 1 Tone, 3 Way Switch, 1 Push/Pull." Am I to assume that the Push/Pull is a coil-cut switch ? And does it function in all 3 toggle switch positions ? The...

I am shopping for a couple of 500K push/pull pots and I see some with letter designations such as "A" an "B" - what does this mean ??? Thank you again. John Carroll

Lookin' at the triple shot diagram labeled, "2 Humbuckers with 2 triple shots, 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way with Phase and Series/Parallel switches". I think there may be a flaw in the diagram - please correct me if I am wrong. The diagram shows the triple shot wiring from the NECK pup wired to the...

Hey ! I bought the hot-rodded set for my hardtail Telecaster and found out that bridge's string spacing, @ 2 1/16", was too wide for the SH-4. I ordered me a Trembucker (TB-4) and have no immediate use for the SH-4. It is brand spankin' new in the box. I will gladly accept a reasonable offer...

Hey! Great forum. I have a hardtail Tele with Duncan's Hot-Rodded set installed. The string spacing at the neck looks fine, but at the bridge the string spacing is wider than the pole pieces. The bridge is a Gotoh hardtail unit with a 2 1/16 " string spacing. Will the guitar sound bad with...

Hey everybody ! I am putting together a guitar with 2 humbuckers, 2 triple shots, 2 vol., 2 tone and a 3-way switch. I saw a Seymour Duncan wiring diagram under "triple shots" that makes use of push/pull switches for phase and series/parallel. Question: Would this be overkill ? - the triple...

I don't have much hair left and I am tempted to rip it out if I can't get my wiring together ! Got a Tele with 2 humbuckers and a 3-way BLADE switch (no toggle). I wired this thing 3 times now and it still wont work. All of the components are new and test out as good. Getting an incredible...
