I'm looking for opinions as to a Tele that I'm modding, as to pots/electronics.
I've never mixed pickups before, so, this is kind of totally uncharted waters for me, as to this mod.
I havent decided if I want to wire my own plate, or just be a bit lazy and buy a high quality pre wired harness. Mostly I just care about building with premium-quality, reliable and consistent stuff.
I understand the single coils generally pair with 250K pots, and 500K pots generally pair with humbuckers. Generally, is it true that a 500K/single combo could be over bright, or a 250K/humbucker combo possibly too dark? Anyone ever mix different size pots on the same plate?
These are the specific pickups I've chosen for the mod, so I hope that helps narrow any advice offered.
So, I suppose that I'm looking for setups that people have built or used, to maximize the sound of these pickups, individually and together. Also, suggestions as to caps and where to use them would be helpful.
I know that these specific pickups have their own unique, highly regarded sound. I don't mind experimenting too much, to blend them properly in my mod. Maybe I'm trying to save myself a bit of work, trying to get my wiring close on the first go around, and then tweak it a bit as I play the guitar and the music I like.
Any advice, with explanations as to the whys, would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance for your help!
BTW...Maple neck and fingerboard (two piece). Fairly sure body is Alder. If it matters.
