Putting A Humbucker In A Mandolin

Recommended Posts

I'm just about to put a Gibson 490R humbucker in this solid body mandolin I have.

The humbucker is around 8 ohms.

I'm using a 500K pot for the volume and another 500K pot for the tone with a .020 capacitor.

Being that the mandolin is a high pitched instrument, I was wondering if anybody with more wiring experience would recommend using another sized pot and/or capacitor? Like a 250K pot or .047 capacitor.

Or is using two 500K pots with a .020 capacitor good for this humbucker and mandolin?
