With this type of solution, the middle "mixed" switch position will be slightly darker than your typical Tele. So what's the catch? Well, there's always a trade-off. (I'm happy to pre-install the resistor if you want - just let me know where your single coil will be.) The resistor can be installed to accommodate the single-coil pickup being located in either the bridge or neck position. I'll include this resistor in the package. This forces the single-coil pickup to "see" a 250k Ohm pot.
#Is tele single coil vs humbucker install#
The best option is to go with 500k pots (just as you would for dual humbuckers), and then install a ~470k Ohm resistor between the single-coil switch lug and ground. Humbuckers typically want 500k Ohm pots, and single-coils normally want 250k Ohm pots. So how do I set this up for a mixed humbucker/single-coil configuration?
