That being said, you have to double the resistance of the pot to 500k to match the impedance for a true single coil tone. The Quiet Coils are designed to work with 500k pots because they utilize 2 coils and 2 magnets per string rather than 1 coil and 1 magnet per string like a single coil.

I see you recommend 500k pots for the Quiet Coils, but can I use 250k pots instead?.Think SRV or Clapton Brownie strat tones with the 58's, and think Hendrix or Gilmour strat tones with the 67's. The 58's tend to sound brighter with more upper midrange presence, which gives them a more open and woody sounding tone, compared to the 67's which are more scooped on the mids and tend to have more quack and overall glassier highs. Just like the original 19 strat pickups, the materials, number of turns, winding patterns, etc all changed, which is why there is a tonal difference between the two. There is a significant tonal difference between the 67's and 58's. What is the difference between the ‘58 and ‘67 Quiet Coils?.I have questions about your Quiet Coil Strat Pickups. Keep in mind these are 'general' specs, however they should yield excellent results and will act as a great starting point. Be careful setting the pickups too close for drop tunings and super heavy strings TIP: With adjustable poles, you can stagger them for the strings.Bridge pickup: 2/32' treble and bass side.Neck pickup: 5/64' treble side and 3/32' bass side.Humbucker/P-90 adjustable polepiece pickups: TIP: Be careful with Strats especially, the pickups set too close can pull the strings and create a multitude of problems (3 pickups = 3 magnets on one string!).Bridge pickup: 4/32' treble and bass side.Neck pickup: 4/32' treble and 5/32' bass side.Telecaster/Stratocaster/Jazzmaster/Jaguar/Mustang/Jazz Bass/P-Bass single coil pickups: It would be the low E and high G for a standard 4 string bass. The bass side represents the low E string and the treble side represents the high E string on a standard 6 string guitar. All are our own personal preference, so please feel encouraged to experiment.Īll measurements are in 32nd's and 64th's of an inch and are taken from the top of the pickup pole and the bottom of the string (while pressing the string down against the last fret). Below are standard measurements we use on a daily basis when setting up guitars. Pickup height is a personal preference, however there are reasons for making certain adjustments.The cover itself is nickel silver but the plating is ferromagnetic and will have a slight affect, as it acts as a very thin magnetic shield. All of the metal covers available at Mojotone are made from pure nickel silver, with the only exception being the plating. It is generally found that the most magnetically transparent metal cover available is high quality nickel silver. Generally metal covers will knock some of the highs off, making the pickup sound warmer or darker, while plastic covers will have no effect at all. The type of metal cover you choose can have a significant affect on the sound of your pickup.Tele 3-Way Custom Solderless Wiring Diagram.Tele 3-Way Custom Reverse Wiring Diagram.Strat 5-Way Blender Solderless Wiring Diagram.Les Paul Standard Vintage Modern Wiring Diagram.Les Paul Standard Solderless Wiring Diagram.Mojotone CTS Push / Pull Pot Wiring Diagram Schematics and Frequently Asked Questions
