Wiring Diagrams
Basic Guidelines
-
Potentiometer: use Audio taper pots. 250 kohm is recommended for single coil pickups and 500 kohm for SETbucker pickups. Vice versa is also possible. In general a larger resistance pot is known to retain more treble than a smaller resistance one.
-
Capacitor: 0.022 nF cap always goes along with 250 kohm. 500 kohm pots can be paired with 0.022 to 0.047 nF. A larger cap offers a more range of tone change but cuts a bit of treble.
-
We use push-pull pots on all our prewired pickguards and kits. Push-push pots are also available.
