    Whilst they work great together as a tele set, I'm not sure how you'll go balancing the neck with a HB and P-90.

    The TR neck pickup has good clarity (by tele neck pickup standards IME) but it's still a lower output compared to the other two.
    It may work fine, but I'll be interested hear what you think once it's together.
    *Smacks forehead* I absolutely had not considered balance.

    Bridge HB - 13kOhm AlNiCo V
    Middle P90 - 7.6kOhm AlNiCo II
    Neck SC - 7.1k Alnico 3

    The humbucker looks to be almost twice the output of the neck pickup on paper. The P90 is actually pretty close to the neck in output.
    I wonder how it would balance out with the coil split?

    With this sort of thing is it just gain/compression/signal strength going into the pedals & amp that's affected, or would there be a noticeable drop in volume when switching to the neck pickup from the humbucker?
