I'm curious of the different combinations of wiring being utilized. Mine is wired with the simple wiring with a .022 cap for tone and a .0047 for a cocked wah sound. I'm also using 500k for volume and 250k tone with a Seymour Duncan BG1400. How is yours wired?

(2) CTS 250k Pots...(1) .047 Capacitor...No Switch...and a Switchcraft Jack

Simplicity is Bliss !

Mine is a MIM '50s Classic with the stock wiring but the pickup is a Seymour Duncan Broadcaster. The stock MIM guts are pretty nice quality and I like how it's voiced. It sounds perfect for me!

Mine's wired wrong right now. Plus, in trying to fix it I ruined the switch. In fact, I've screwed up two Teles this week. I finally got one working, and I found an extra switch, so hopefully I'll have that problem remedied this weekend.

Position 1 - .010 cap, no tone control
Position 2 - normal tone control w/ .047 cap
Position 3 - no cap, no tone control BOING!

PS: 3 way switch and 250 K CTS pots....I used a 5.9 K pickup and anything more than 250 would have been extremely "ice pick"...

Two 250k pots in mine - the "ice pick" is still hacking.
but then I think my caps aren't up to these specks yet.
I might try another pickup aswell.

Got mine fixed! Twang factory! I used the Cocked Wah wiring. I still have a problem with it cutting out in pos 3, but I think it's because I used a used switch. I'm going to order a new one next time I order parts.

Mine has the RS Guitarworks kit; 280K CTS volume, 250K CTS Tone, .047 cap. With a Lindy Fralin vintage stock stagger.

So, what do you have in there now? I like the Fralin a lot. With a thicker Highway One plate and Callaham enhanced saddles it produces a great tone. But the only other pickup I have tried is a Fender OV.
