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.

Since buying my Bud 6 last year my LJ has not gotten a lot of use. I recently tried the LJ again with my Reverend Pete Anderson Eastsider T style guitar using the neck pickup. Much to my surprise...
Never knew that, but there must be some exceptions. Joscho Stephan and Olli Soikkeli definitely do not in Troy Grady's extensive filming of their technique.
As long as we are ranting on reverb, how about how every guitar made in japan in the 70s is now a lawsuit guitar, as if that makes them more desirable. Or super rare. Yes, they only made as many as...
It makes crossing strings extremely easy, as the pick has to hardly move. However you have less definition and a much rounder tone with less treble. Yet another thing to puzzle us when trying to...
You can sweep pick the last line at the 6th fret, it's a GbM7 arpeggio (preceded by the notes Eb & F on the 5th string). I played the entire four bars in the 4th to 6th fret positions, shifting as...
