Ok I asked this on TGP but it got buried and one guy chimed in with a little help, so I'll try it here. I'll also post a link to what I'm looking at to see if it's the right part to put in the cart.
I'm going to be getting some of Scott's pickups soon for this Chinese Kramer Pacer Classic I got to tinker with as a good beater guitar and I want to upgrade the electronics while I'm at it. I did get some help from the guy on whether to get fine or coarse spline pots, but I can pick which 500k pot from Bourns or CTS I want that'll give me the correct spline for my stock knobs. Scott said I don't need a treble bleed on the pickups, and I didn't see any resistors on the cap on the tone pot anyway, so I don't know if mine had treble bleed or not. Anywho, what's a good cap value to get so I can replace this junky one they included on the tone pot?

I want to replace the mini 3 way toggle for pickup selection, and the place I was shopping for dpdt switches had on/off/on and on/on/on for 3 way. I'm guessing I need an on/on/on? On a side note, looking at the way Kramer wired it looks totally different from the way the interwebs said to wire it...but I'll follow wiring diagrams I find.

The guitar has the long style flush mount jack I think it's called. Most of them I find are stereo rather than mono setup. Is it ok to get a stereo one if the price is better or in stock and only wire up the mono part of it?

One last thing, I want to get a jack to put on this 1960A I have that sometimes gets off the charts resistance on 16 ohm mono mode so I can delete the junky stereo switch and have 1 jack for constant 16 ohm resistance. Will something like this work, or do I need a specific type of jack?
