Is it possible to wire a Humbucker and a regular Tele Bridge pickup using a 4 way switch ? Im trying to get both series and parallel wiring on the neck pickup, both pickups together and lead single coil Tele.
Yep. I did that with Dimarzio Area Ts and with Wilde L280TN, both stacked humbuckers. No reason PAF style won't work. If there is a pick up cover it needs to be grounded separately. The diagrams ought to make things pretty clear.
although with a Dimarzio Area T (with cover) and then a Wilde L280TN (no cover). Haven't done it with a PAF style bucker, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a 4 wire conductor. You might need to ground the cover.
One other ? Since I'm using both a Humbucker and a Single Coil what ohm pots should be used? I've seen diagrams with both 500k a d 250K as well as a mix.
Not sure which to go with?
Perhaps you could use 500k/250k dual ganged pots. I have a Strat with PAF buckers in the middle and bridge, SC in the neck and wired it so that there is a 250/500k volume pot, 250k tone pot for the neck and 500k tone for the buckers. I used one side of the switch as the 250k side and the other side for the 500k side- no jumper between the common terminals on the switch.
I don't like the strap on the headstock, I worry about stressing the neck. But I do get straps with very wide should pad sections and deep padding to spread the weight.
On the position thing, I started out classical with the guitar on the left thigh, then went folk with it on the right, but when I came to jazz I noticed Joe Pass tends to take a sort of hybrid...
I saw Gabor Szabo with Howard Roberts back in the 80s at Donte's in North Hollywood CA. Szabo can certainly play "jazz". E.g. they played many standards together and Szabo's solos were...
Like many others here, I could probably write a book about my adventures in guitar flipping. I've made some great friends, both virtually, and IRL. I finally gave up during COVID, after a few...
Maybe you could message the seller and see if there is an opportunity to Skype about the guitar, or at least get some communication that will allow you to get a feeling (good or bad) about it.
Two excellent replies. Years ago Szabo inspired me with his drone string usage also. It led to me exploring Arabic/Middle East/Indian musics. This helped me to expand my blues with the slide. I am...
