Few days ago I just finished my first build, an swamp ash HSH guitar with maple neck. Now I can't decide which middle pickup should I get. I'm thinking about putting 36th Ann. PAF for bridge and neck, and I don't know which pots should I get along with middle pickup? 250k? 500k? For middle - Area 58/61/67? HS-2? VV 54 Pro or VV Blues? The main goal is just to get "quack" on 2. and 4. position on the 5-way switch. Tnx.

For a set of 36th PAFs I'd definitely go with an Area 67 in the middle. You definitely get lots of Strat quack in 2 and 4. If I had an HSH that's the setup I'd go with.

As for a pot I'd start with a 250 even though I use 500s with just the PAFs. If the 250 didn't work I'd use a 500 and wire in a 470k resistor for positions 2-4.

Tnx. I will stay open to new options also, I wanna know what the others will say. But thanks for reply, karma +1.

FWIW I bought an HSS set for a guitars and went with a 36th, (2) Area 67s and I'm going to use a 250k volume pot with no tone control. Haven't installed them yet though because the guitar is out for refinishing.
