My tele control plate's pot holes are smaller than the push pull alpha type. Is there a special type pot to use or must I drill out the control plate holes to get them in? Also I think I will just use one push pull pot rather than two. Or I will have to route out the cavity to do it and I don't want to do that. So I will leave the bridge full and shunt the humbucker. Can you draw that one up for me? One push pull 500k and one 250k or 500k regular pot whatever you think? I know SD says 250k for the lil59 so I was going to leave the stock one alone. HELP!
