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 the style dictates everything. The Freddie style is an old way of playing..I love it, but of course it's not what you're going to hear in a modern style big band...

Not exactly true. My Heritage Johnny Smith Rose from 2001 is quite a powerful acoustic guitar and louder than many good 18-inch guitars. It is as loud as my Heritage 18 inch Ghost built D'angelico...
I wouldn't mind resurrecting that rhythm guitar thread.
I'm playing big band regularly and I'm not sure when to stick to Freddie G. and when to branch out.
Freddie played with Basie and...
I think in a way that answers the point. If an acoustic guitar is not very loud, it’s not very acoustic.
We could debate ‘good’ and granted, I’d prefer an even tone to a loud one but in general,...
JD,
That sound you got with the HJS is thick enough to cut with a knife brother.
You're awesome!
Lots of Johnny Smith threads I know you're reading them all.

It can depend on the tune and on the section … in this case we’ve got probably the beginning to beat one of m4, with the second phrase starting on the last beat of m4, yes?
With some fretboard (lemon) oil on the rosewood saddle holder it doesn't even look particularly odd on top of the ebony bridge. Kind of repeats the sunburst pattern...
