I'm also thinking they might fit nicely in my '72 Starfire IV. This is my first experience with the Alembic humbucker replacement; I've done several Strat and Tele installs where the Alembic controls fit in the same holes (on Strats I put a Q switch where the lower tone control was). Since many dual humbucker guitars have 2 V and 2 T pots, I wonder if I could hook up another Vol and filter so each pickup could be set individually, and still have the use of the master volume that's on the guitar? Similar to Skylark electronics, but with Q's instead on on/off/bright switches. Just wonderin'. Bill, tgo |
