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 think what joebonni was referencing was these promotinal video's Bucky made for D'angelico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diPEAsPbBxs .Of course Bucky would have sounded good playing a cigarbox...
Here I forgot one thing maybe I got the one off that was made better than some of the other EXL-1’s. That’s why I bought this guitar it blew out all the other jazz boxes in the shop. This could be...
I too have a Zephyr Regent; 1998 vintage. It's a great guitar. I also have an Emperor like yours although mine was made a few years later than yours and it has the Joe Pass name added to it. I...
You can think of the attenuator in a TM Twin as a knob to select several different wattage “models” of a Twin. A tube Twin can break up at very high volumes. The attenuator feature allows you to...
There’s one for sale in Omaha that is cosmetically horrible—prior owner literally scratched his name on the back plate—though plays well—for $1500.
I would sure consider it if I needed another...
I've had an EXL-1 for about 7 years now. It's a nice guitar for the money, better than a Korean Epiphone, for example. It superficially LOOKS like an original New Yorker, but that's about it. Plug it...
