Electrics For Single P90 Lp Jnr Type Thing

This guy gives the specs to his 56 reissue LP --

4-500K Ohm Control Pots CTS

1-Switchcraft Straight Toggle Switch

2-.022 Mfd 400V Bumble Bee Capacitors(Replica)

But the site's in Japanese, I have no idea if he modded this himself, or if he's just proud of the guitar or what.

I thought that since P90s are single coils, they used 250k pots...nice to know!

250K for singles, 500K for buckers, that's what I thought, too. Is it true that using a lower value (say 250K rather thatn 500K) will give you a warmer tone? so 250K could give the thing a warnmer sound? In any case I like the sound just as it coomes, so if 500K is what's recommended, that's what I'll stick with.

Thanks, both

What I read today was that Gibson always used 500k pots ....

I'm guessing if you use 250k for a P90, you'll end up with a thinner sound, not necessarily warmer
