Yeah, the Tex-Mex in the middle really sucks. Incredibly bland sounding. No cut and very weak sounding. Area 67 is now on its way and I can't wait to install it.

Well, it worked out quite well, but the Tex-Mex is just meh in the middle. I'll eventually be replacing it with an Area 67.

I plan on putting a 58 in the neck, a Tex-Mex in the middle, and a Virtual Solo in the bridge. Decided to try the Tex-Mex in the middle simply because I have a set lying around. I'm hoping that positions 2 and 4 on the five-way switch will give me really nice quack and hum cancelation. To do so, I plan on using the following components:

• Five-way switch with auto-splitting on Area 58 and VSolo in positions 2 and 4
• Tex-Mex will be RWRP relative to top coils of 58 and Virtual Solo, assuming top coils of each pickup are of the same polarity
• 250k master volume
• 250k no-load tone pot for neck (in case tone pot's 250k load dulls too much of the 58's highs)
• 250k tone pot for middle
• No tone pot for bridge to let Virtual Solo have (hopefully) enough highs (I typically use it with 500k volume pot with no tone pot connected)

Good plan?
