504 Pots

[METAL Rulez 4ever]

Thank you Fender3X and Simon, much appreciated for both your info.

I did try raising the pickups, that is always my first go to solution, however, i got the pickups as high to the strings without the strings hitting the magnets and the out put is still low. I am replacing the whole electrics with new wiring and pickups. I am installing a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder (13.68) in the bridge and a BC Rich (6.74) in the neck. A500K pots for both the volume controls and A1000K for the tone control. I have 3 different capacitors to choose from EPM10, EPM33 and EPM47. I don't know if there should be a zero or zeros in front of those numbers. The 10 cap has 2A104J on it and another cap i found has 683J2AOSG. Which capacitor is this one and which cap should i use please ?

This one would work. It's .1u (microfarads). More typical would be .05u or .047u.

Here's an article that might help:

Thank you Fender3X. Here are two pages i am getting information from...

The .1 cap is apparently a 200Hz cutoff. Is that too quick of a frequency to start cutting, might be a muddy sound ? I found more caps ranging from .1 to.001 uF (cut off from 200Hz to 2100Hz). I was thinking of using .001 (2100Hz) cap with two A500K volume pots and A1000K tone pot with the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder (13.68) in the bridge and a BC Rich (6.74) in the neck.. Whats your thoughts please ?
