If you got real single coils or bright single coils, then 500k might be overkill.
Check out the Suhr HSS wiring diagram - they assign different resistors to the single coils, making them see a 250k pot... all with 1 x 500k vol pot.

Dudelove: They say because we use metric pots, which is 6cm, but im not sure which part they are talking about. They say they use the non metric ones that are 1cm
Edit: I just measured a spare strat knob that i have, apparently the hole is 6cm. So im guessing thats what they mean. But if it is a split post i think you can bend it in to fit the normal knobs i think, not sure. Could anyone check this out? Like those who already have the RS pots

They're talking about the shaft bit. Not 6cm lah... 6mm. US knobs won't fit on 6mm posts, and vice versa. You must get the right knobs for their knobs. Also, watch out for the holes in the body. They're most likely drilled for Asian sizes (metric) if the guitars are from Asia. American uses different diameter holes, so the pot shafts may not fit.
And no, the 6mm diameter holes will NOT fit on the RS pots. Becareful about these. I broke a pot because of these before.

We actually have US-sized knobs since there are shops that bring in parts from AllParts, a US based company. Dimarzio parts are also US sized.
Davis has a counter area where there's a large selection of knobs - those are all metric... at least since the last time I asked lah.

yup, shredcow. I have checked out the Suhr wiring diagram.
but i'd still need the 500k super pot from RS.. which they don't include in the strat kit. I popped them an email asking if they could switch out the 280k pot with the 500k pot, but i have yet to receive a reply.
anyone wants to MO from RS?
also.. anyone wants to order from http://guitarpartsresource.com/guitar_index.htm ?
I'm looking to get a 4way tele switch. heh.

I just ordered wiring rigs from tonemojo.com (jonesy on MLP) for my LPs and Strats. I specified these rigs to use CTS 10% tolerance pots and Russian PIO caps (.015 neck and .022 bridge for the LPs and .033/.047 for the Strats). Can't wait to get them :mrgreen:
Btw, who do you guys use for installing such rigs in SGP? Someone who can do a clean and careful job preferably

I do the installation myself... Try it... saves you a lot of time and money.
