Yes. Vintage wiring

One of my favorite Teles of Fender's current offerings, congrats!

I have the Duncan mini in two Teles now. Hard to go back to a single coil.

Beautiful! That's basically what my Canadian Breed will be set up like when the new body is finished.

Anyone know what the pot values are for the hot rod? 250 for the single coil and 500 for the mini HB? Just curious if I ever decide to put a single coil in the neck.

My understanding is the pots are both 375k, I remember seeing one of Boris Bubbanov's posts to that effect, but can't find that thread at the moment.
If you have a multi-meter, it should be quick to verify.
Great guitar isn't it, mine is in black.

So if i put a single coil in the neck ii would have to go 250k on both or just tone?

I'm thinking 250k for both.
I found the thread where Boris explained the pots/pickup, he mentioned the stock bridge p/u is voiced slightly hotter to keep equal volume with the mini-hum, not sure if 250k would conflict with that.
Here's the thread.

If it was me, I'd prolly try what's there pot wise and then decide, it might sound ok, but YMMV and how it sounds to your ears. At least it's another option.
