What pot and cap values would you use for Lollar Firebird pickups wired with two volumes (bridge and neck) and one master tone?

The emphasis would be on clarity and chime.

Does anyone make a wiring harness for Firebird pickups? I checked with Lollar already and they don't.

Traditionally, the Firebird would have two volumes and two tones.
You could check out the Explorer wiring scheme which uses a master tone.
At any rate, 500K audio taper pots would work great.

10-4, good idea about the Explorer wiring. I just realized, doesn't the Flying V also have two vol. and one master Volume?

Any suggestions regarding cap value?

Is there a 50's wiring for two volumes and one master tone?
