I have recently purchased a Hard Ash Musiclander body with a two humbucker configuration. It has a recessed tune-o-matic string through set up. The neck is maple with a rosewood fretboard. The pickups are the Airline recreations of the Vintage Valco pickups found on old Supros and Nationals ( jack white uses the originals). These pickups are single coils that look like humbuckers but sound similar to fatter single coils and P90s from what Ive heard. Because of the strange nature of these pickups I wasn't sure what pots to get . I bought two 300k's because I know that hard ash is already bright and these pups being a single coils I was afraid 500k's would give me too much brightness but 250k would be too mellow. I'm also using a 33mf tone cap because I understand caps with that value only cut out a small amount of brights and has good mid range.
I want a guitar that has chime ,growl and sustain.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
Ive put a lot of thought into this setup and this is my first time with Warmoth and the second guitar Ive built. Tell me what you think and please give me any suggestions you have especially regarding the pots and caps because they will be the variables easiest to change once my Warmoth parts get here.
