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 have an 18 inch blond acoustic Campellone. I'm thinking about electrifying it.
It's rather plain with no bling, but it's beautiful. It has a rosewood fingerboard and an extra wide nut. I...

Randy was a close friend of Lenny Breau's, so he might have some interesting guitars for auction.
He's also Canadian, so maybe he's even got a Beauregard in there.

I just did a quick test with my Joyo American Sound pedal into a solid state amp using a 1Spot power supply. I was using a single coil (non-humbucking) pickup and I was near some LED lights on a...

Maybe, I just don't think of it that way because I could pick any set of notes and reassemble them like that, in this case the first eleven notes of the tune, which you could hardly call a lick...
You are correct. If the tone pot on typical magnetic pickup equipped guitar is rolled all the way back, the tone cap will be in parallel with the much smaller cable capacitance, so cable capacitance...
