Replace A Quarter Pounder For A Bill Lawrence L250

[Jeffblue]

The one thing that I normally do for my guitar builds is mixing pickup types in a single guitar. I have a Warmoth build routed for a P90 neck, strat middle and tele bridge on a strat body. I have a Seymour Duncan Vintage P90 in the neck and Quarter Pounders middle and bridge positions. For me, the Quarter Pounders sound too much alike for my taste. I have a Bill Lawrence L250 that I'd like to replace in the bridge position. What holds me back is the L250 is TOO treble-y. Does anyone have a solution to calm the too high frequency? I want to be able to have some twang without being brittle. Thanks.

Let's quote Bill himself. The third paragraph from the bottom evokes a solution costing "less than 50 cents":

Just adjust capacitance to taste.

For the record, my main Strat hosts a 1nF cap on a TBX. My guitar with FilterTron's includes a switchable 3,3nF cap for P.A.F. tones. And so on. Works for me. YMMV.
