What Pots On Rail Pups?


I think I remember it's 500k on volume and tone in bridge of strat. Is this correct for Chopper, Fast Track 2 and Super Dis S? A friend is going to install a Super S in his G&L.

Re: What Pots On Rail Pups?


Strats are stock with 250K ohm pots for single coils. Humbuckers usually use 500K pots. Some folks are going with 1 meg pots as they feel they get a little extra out of the guitar. Try them all as you can't hurt anything.

Re: What Pots On Rail Pups?


Since you're going with a Super D in the bridge, I would get a 500K volume pot.

Simply put, the greater the resistance of the pot, the more treble you will get out of it. If the guitar sounds too dark, bump it up to a 1 meg. If it sounds too bright bump it down to a 250k.
