Question abt Pots

[messyhair]

Hi everyone, im thinking of swapping my single coil in the neck position of my tele to that of a humbucker.

Do i have to switch the tone and volume pots to that of a higher value (250K to 500K maybe?) ? And i had to, how would that affect the sound of the bridge pickup (single coil) and the tone of the guitar?

I need your help and recommendation guys!

Its not necessary, but you can.

Here's a writeup on stewmac.

Quote: Your tone is affected by the control pots you use. Not just the tone control — the volume pot influences tone, too.

250K vs. 500K pots
250K pots give a slightly warmer tone than 500K because the 250K bleeds off some of the high frequencies.

250K = warmer
500K = brighter
1 Meg = brightest

Usually, 250K pots are used with single-coil pickups and and 500Ks are used with humbuckers. If you want to hear your guitar "wide open" with all the highs, try 1 Meg pots.

25K pots are used with active systems.
