Title: Now I've done it - pulled trigger
Post by: fdesalvo on April 02, 2015, 10:36:15 PM
Crawler + MM

Going into this - pardon the crude mock-up.  If it's too dark in this one, I can swap it out for one of the Abraxas's in my other guitars.  Huge shout out to Telerocker for pumping this pickup.  Very excited about the Crawler.  Looking forward to some fat and chewy solo tones and nice split options.

How you are going to wire it? Best thing to do is a 500k for the Crawler and 250k for the single coil, like in the Suhr-wiringdiagrams, but those are layed out for HSS. A 250k will maken the Crawler it too dark, a 500k for the neck is a tad bright, but would be better than vice versa. You just have to set the coil a little lower.

I'll wire it like I have my other Tele wired that is HS (Abraxas/63 Pat Pend): 500K Volume.  Neck hot lead will have a 500K resistor to ground off the switch.   The MM will see this as 250K thanks to Ohm's law.

Ok, let us know if you like that combo.

You better believe it.
