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 toyed with that this evening. I kind of like how light the maj7 makes it sound, but I put a Dom 7 in there around bar 7-8.
It might be too noodly now.

Thanks very much. I actually use quite a bit of mic’d amp and DI in my mix for the body of the sound with the mike on the guitar mostly addi mg the stringy tizz and acoustic realism. Glad you like...
Yes, it's boxy compared to a Fender. I've done side-by-side comparisons with a friends amp and my Princeton TM, tweaking the tone stack this way and that, and without some sort of assistance from a...
Figured I'd post this here. This is my blonde '89 Emperor that I have modified to be more like a Harmony H-62/Espanada. Since it's a cross between an Emperor and an Espanada, I call it the Empanada...
I thought some more about it.
One of the Bose L1 models, at least, I think comes with a mixer that's similar to the Bose S1, which I owned briefly. There are three channels and I think...
57 Classics have sounded great in any guitar I’ve heard them in. You could possibly tease something slightly better out with some boutique humbuckers, but the return for cost will be very small.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Sorry, I meant Zephyr. Tired today and I did own a Triumph Regent years ago like the guy from Hot Club of Cowtown has. Gotta get my models right now that I own two...
You should see Ben harmonizing 4 moving voices on the fly, and reharmonizing it in 4 voices and melody on top in real time. It can be done if your harmonic concept is comprehensive. It helps to work...
Super cool ...
... one small point. The arpeggios in the main riff seem to be min7 off the thirds of the dominant chords in the blues form. You might want to lower those fifths. In context, the...
I would say go with a Gibson pickup. The 57 Classic is simply a superb archtop humbucker. If you want to try something with a P90 angle, the humbucker sized Gibson P94 is also a really nice pickup. ...
