Re: Quarter Pounder Tele pups Questions
It's all subjective and boils down to what your ear ikes to hear. Personally, I prefer 250K's...... 500's will add a bit more treble. I just find 250's do the trick. As far as caps, again, I like the .033 or .047 myself. .033 is a nice compromise between the .022 and .047. No right or wrong though. Good luck! Hope it works out well for you. 1/4lbr's are a fun set.

Hey thanks!
I am new to a tele meaning I have modded a few strats but never the tele.
I wanted the tele to still sound like a tele but want to kick some but while doing it!! U know like a tele but with a problem with authority or something

Good luck with the mod. As you know by doing strats, teles will soon become an addiction!
While I love vintage toned teles, my heart lies with the more corpulent side of things. The 1/4 lbr's will certainly get you where you need to go. Have fund and kick some arse!

Cool.....again, no right or wrong on pot/cap values, just what works best for YOU. Dimarzio recommends a 250K vol and 1meg tone for their VV pickups. I use a VV Hot T in the bridge of one of my teles and have wrestled with the thought of trying that combo. I'm just so happy with the tone from the 250K's and .033 that I don't want to fix what ain't broken.......although that has never stopped me in the past!
