After playing a friends music man with VPAFS I got on a quest to find some, I was able to find 3 virtual hots and 3 vpaf necks, still looking for a cream Vpaf neck. A couple questions,
I am installing one bridge and one neck in my mahogany strat, what pots? I read they are bright and 250k might be what I want but I like 500k in my hss strats and use TBX tone controls and treble bleed in most of them. I also have a 76 Les Paul custom with a maple neck and fretboard, I installed the transitions set, 500k pots, coil split etc and I hate them, sounds great split on the bridge but the bucker is just bland, I think the VHPAF and VPAF are going to fit the bill, If they sound like I think they will, I want to put gold covers and gold screw slugs so it looks stock, I am going to try the transitions in an ASH HH strat I am building,(all gold hardware) if they dont sound right can I swap the covers and screw slugs from them into the VPAFS? If they do does Dimarzio sell gold screw slugs?
I also may be putting a VHPAF in another strat, its a 86 contemporary model, it is HSS with one volume and one TBX tone control, I may use area 61 mid and area 58 neck, what vol pot? or do I add a resister and make the area's see 250k and bucker see 500k?
I am stoked I found these because they are one of the best sounding PAF type pickups I have ever heared. Again, I am looking for a neck cream VPAF, I have a PRS Johnny Hiland and the pickups are great but the VHPAF and Vpaf will even be better.
