Hello!

I'm new in this forum and I've decided to fix up my old squier stratocaster with alder body and rosewood fingerboard. I've ordered the pickups and disassembled the guitar when I noticed it's 500K pots in it. I've searched the web and I noticed that opinions vary and that it's a lot of different schemes and set ups. I was wondering which pots may suit my choice of pickups?

Best regards!

I'm going to say 250k pots. I have one guitar with the JB and 250k pots and I think it sounds fantastic in that guitar.

Thanks for the answer Bill! I was also wondering which kind of capacitor to use with 250k pots?

250k pots for sure with that set-up. Capacitor selection is a bit more of a personal preference. I would start with a .022uf cap in your SSH. Will you have 1 volume and 2 tones and which 2 pickups will be connected to the tone pots if that will be your setup?

Thanks for the reply. I've ordered a 22uf orange drop. I have 1 volume and 2 tone. I was thinking about doing the SD'S autosplit schematic. I'm open for tips and suggestions though!
