I'm swapping my original Classic 57s out of 1995 R8 Les Paul with a set of Wolfetone Dr Vintage. This will be an unpotted set as to try and achieve the vintage tone close to what Peter Green had with his famous guitar.
I talked to Wolfe on the phone and asked him to reverse the magnet on the neck pickup but he talked me into buying the pickups built with modern 4-way wiring and either reverse the positive/ negative leads or install a push/pull pot to switch between normal/out of phase options. I've decided to install the new p/p pot.
Just wondering what pot to buy for this project. I don't know too much about electronics but will have my brother do the job as he has a ton of soldering experience (RC airplanes) so I will get the supplies together for him, probably through Stew Mac. Also thinking about having him install new caps while he's in there. I've currently the cheap round ceramic types in there. Any suggestions?
Any comments or other suggestions welcomed.
