I've got a '99 McCarty that appears stock except for the tone cap and maybe the volume pot. A few questions I need some help with, if anybody knows or can point me somewhere , would be grateful.
- Anybody know what the stock cap was and if the factory was using any treble bleed circuitry at that time? Anyone have the official schematic for that period? I've seen lots of versions and don't know which are correct.
- I see newer diagrams using 1.1k and 2.2k resistors on the push pull. Has anybody ever implemented that circuit on the older McCarty pickups? The pickups they are used with today are probably different than stock McCartys from 20 years ago, not sure those values would be appropriate.

Any assistance much appreciated, thx.
 
I did the 1.1k on the neck of my 98. It makes it a little thicker on what I thought was a little lacking on the neck split.

On the bridge I did an LC circuit to use the "grounded" coil to phase cancel 60-cycle hum and make the single coil sound a little more convincing.
