I want to put two 470K Ohm resistors into my guitar on the single coils w/ 500K pots in a H-S-S Warmoth, but I don't know what voltage rating . Anyone help a bro out? ( and no, google is not my friend in this instance) :icon_scratch:
Thanks.
 
I use 1/4 watt 250v 470k resistors for that application, these guys right here:

Keep in mind that if you use a separate resistor for middle and neck, then when you are in position 4 (middle + neck) you'll have both 470k resistors in parallel with the 500k pot, which will give you more like 160k instead of 250k.
