Guys,
I really liked the sound of the Phat Cat + Screamin' Demon combo in the now discontinued George Lynch ESP LTD Super V's from a couple years ago, but found the body shape a bit unruly.
Recently I picked up a guitar with similar specs wood-wise but in a more traditional strat shape and was wanting to drop this combo in it as an alternative to the usual '59 + JB/Custom 5 combos I like.
The question is, the guitar comes stock with a push-pull tone pot, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do with it, or should I just have it switched to regular pot?
I know the Phat Cat is a single-conductor pickup, so the push-pull goes to waste on it, but the Demon is a 4-conductor, so does anyone have any ideas on what I can with it to add to the flexability of the guitar when only one pickup has an alternate wiring option? Or perhaps is there another tonal option similar to the Phat Cat that would have 4-contuctor capabilities for splitting and such?
Just a note that the guitar does have individual volume controls and a 3-way toggle (not blade) switch. Only the single tone is currently set for push-pull.
Thanks for any ideas you guys can give me, it's greatly appreciated!
