The title pretty much tells it. Could anyone tell me the pot and cap values on a s2 Vela. I've been curious what they used in a guitar that had both a single coil and humbucker. Also I'm probably gonna put a Lollar tele single coil in the bridge so I don't know if I should have the tone pot changed or not. Other options like a Grease bucket circuit. I want it to sound like a great tele not to twangy or ice picky something like a Fender American special tele sounds in this great playing semi hollow. Thanks
 
That’s a very subjective thing. The rule of thumb is 500k for humbuckers and 250k for single coil. Some use 300k to come in somewhere in between. I did a Squire Tele rewire that had two vintage single coils. I used 250k pots and .47 cap. It had a nice twang, not ice picky. But a lot can change depending on the pups. You might want to experiment.
