    Default Humbucker Wiring In A Strat

    I got a set of GFS Lil Killer rail humbucker pickups I'm gonna install in my black Strat clone. I was planning on just installing them with a 500k Vol / 2x 500k Tone / .022 Cap. Should I get a push-pull to split the neck and bridge? Anybody have a killer setup of these pickups they'd like to share?

    here are a couple possibilities







    I guess it depends on what set you got and if they are hot enough that when you split them it sounds ok any way those diagrams are for semour ducan but it should not be that hard to figure the proper color code substitutions being you get a schematic with the pickups hope this helps a little

    heres another thought if you went with a super switch you could do all that and not need any push pulls you can get those a steward macdonald

    Thanks Snarph. Right now I'm planning on setting it up like #2, but with 500k pots and two Orange Drop .022 caps. I measured the resistances of the Lil Killers:

    Neck: 5.74k / 2.87k
    Mid: 9.72k / 4.87k
    Bridge: 14.3k / 7.2k
