Amazing observation when i opened up the guitar today.
The kit pots were 500k and a B pot was on volume and an A pot on tone. That was the pre-wired up factory kit setup for single coils.
Not what i expected to see. Perhaps i should have taken more notice when i put it all together the first time.
Oh well. Now ive put on my own fat bottom pots in -A for volume and B for tone.
Wired up the rail pickups and given it a bit of a whirl.
While the neck was off i tidied up the higher frets 15and up. I failed to get them right the first time and bending wasnt working over a half step. (How can i pretend to be David Gilmour if i cant do 1and a half step bends?)
Observation1.
Noticably better than the stock set up.
No hum (of course) but not humbuckery like full size humbuckers.
Maybe i could say they are quite bright humbuckers. Maybe i could say they are quite thick single coils.
Observation2.
The tone knob does absolutely nothing for the sound.
Observation3.
Maybe i wont need a treble bleed circuit on this setup.
Observation4.
Ill have to do some research on how to get the tone knob to do its thing. Maybe different cap?
Ill play with this set up for a month or so and get right back to you.......
