sifi2112 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm gonna wire the single coil pups as 'always' in parallel so no blend etc. I know sc usually have 250k per pup so should this value be halved or doubled to 500k if both always in parallel ?

brensabre79 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 It depends on the tone you want. But the pickups in parallel won't change much - it's just like having a switch in the centre position and a single master volume pot so I'd stick with 250k. You're just not having a switch in there. 500k (and in some cases 1 meg) are usually used with humbuckers to combat the slightly duller tone they have. IF you were wiring them in [u]series[/u] you would usually lose a bit of the treble and potentially (see what i did there?) want a higher value pot like a 500k - as you're essentially doing the same thing as making a single humbucker out of the two pickups in that scenario.

Norris Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 When you've got the volume and tone up full it won't make the slightest bit of difference anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
