Wiring in 3 Humbuckers

Post by Hades »

I'm using two Pro Tracks and a Fred.

The well rehearsed debate between 500k and 250k pots. What ones do what and what works best?
And orange caps- are they worth using?

So far I have settled on this one- will it work?

Depends what options you want dude, there are so many. Do you want a pull pot?
If not this one would be better http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wi ... m_1v_2t_5w
Positions 2 and 4 give you blended pickup sounds. Use nice 500K pots if you get the choice

The Dimarzio wire colours will be different to the SD colours on the layout too

Heya, yea I'm after a pull pot to get the single sound as well.
I have the conversion table from SD to DM here: http://tclutherie.hypermart.net/wiring/index.html

Very handy to have on hand.
