Full size humbucker pickup to replace a JB in a strat.

Update: I am going to go with an Anderson H3 humbucker and do the super switch wiring that Sinnerx posted above. Hopefully it works out

I put in the super switch and Anderson H3 last night.

The H3 sounds great, much better than the JB, fuller, thicker.

I went with a 510k resistor, but I think I am going to measure my pots that I took out. The single coils are now a bit bright and crisp. I think lowering to a 470k or lower may do the trick. Out of 4 CTS 500k pots, one was 535k, the others were 475k, 463k, and 454k. Must be +/-10% pots.

I'm gonna throw out my usual go-to pickup for guitars that I dont like the JB in: SD Custom Custom. Thick, no weird mids like the JB, and nice split tones.

I just drew it up quick with MsPaint. Save as and zoom in, if it's too small to see everything clearly. I think Anderson uses the 330k resistor. They say it comes closest to using 250k pots. (Keeping in mind that the other pots are all affecting the load). Feel free to try 470k also. By the way, you should be using all 500k pots for this to work.

What is the reason for using a 500k Tone pot on each tone? I can see for the 2nd tone pot, but the 1st one for the SC's could be 250k, unless I am missing something....
