Looking for pointers as to whether folks think this'll work...
It's a mashup of a couple different ideas...
I have an Epiphone Wildkat hanging around...decent enough guitar...but the sound is very lackluster and pretty dark...
I'm ordering a Compton bridge for it...and new Kent Armstrong pickups.
There's already a wiring issue...someone's had it apart as the pickup selector is reversed when you use it.
There's been lot's of discussion on the 'net regarding the cheap wire....and the inordinate lengths of it the Epiphone used...so I figured what the heck.
The guitar is wired stock with two volume/master tone/master volume.
Here's my idea...
What I'm shooting for is a mid control and a master tone control with 6 different tone caps at my disposal...
Obviously the 6PDT will go where the master volume knob is now..with a chicken head knob and possibly a number backplate..
Do I need resistors on my "varitone" switch (with regards to "popping") as I select the different caps ?
Thanks for any insight/advice !!
