Wiring Help!

[thehtm]

I have a telecaster body that I would like to install a 59 humbucker in the neck, an APS-2 strat pickup in the middle, and an aniquity tele bridge pickup--basically, my favorite pickups in my favorite body. If anyone can help me - (1) is there an easy way to be able to split the 59 neck (it is 4 conductor) (2) is there a wiring diagram that has this schematic already set? (3) would folks recommend using two 500K pots, a combo of a 250K and 500K, or use a resistor of some value?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice you might have!

It is very easy to split the 59 as long as you don't mind push-pull pots. If you do mind push-pulls, you'll need a mini-switch and so you'll have to modify your control plate. I don't think there is already a full schematic for what you are describing, I'll draw one for you if you like.

As far as pots are concerned, it's the age-old conundrum when mixing humbuckers and singles. I'd recommend using 500K's and using your tone pot to tame the highs on your single coils, but others may disagree.
