Wiring Pickups without a capacitor?

[Jbriggsgl]

I just bought a set of 7 string black hawks and two 550k pots (they forgot to send me one pot though so only have one at the moment). These are going into a Japanese 2000 Ibanez 7421. It has a 5 way switch, 1 volume, 1 tone.

I was wondering if it is ok to wire these without a capacitor?

Any recommendations on how to wire these for this type of guitar?

Is it ok if I go ahead and wire it without the 2nd pot? Already waited a month, hard to wait another week for it haha. If I do, do you recommend I use the pot as the volume or tone first.

The only thing I have found about using no capacitor is this.. and it sounds 100x better without one.

the capacitor is what makes the tone pot work, it determines which frequencies are grounded when you roll down your tone.  yes, absolutely, you can wire it without the capacitor.  just leave out the tone control, then you will only have a volume control.  it certainly never did Eddie Van Halen any harm, he only has volume controls on his guitars, as do many other guitarists.  you can always wire in the tone control later if you want.

It will be a bit brighter without the tone control wired in. But as Blue says, you won't harm anything.
