I'm new to this forum, so be gentle...
I'm building a PRS copy with an all maple body, padouk and rosewood neck, and Dimarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone pickups. I'm wondering about the wiring. I'll be using one volume and the pickup selector and will have an additional choice. The hole is there for the tone control, but I've never been one to touch the tone knob on any of my guitars. Should I wire the pickups with the tone wide open? Then what options should I look at for the additional control? Coil tap? Maybe some kind of EMG/David Gilmour EQ or presence thing?
Also, I've chosen (but not purchased) the Dimarzio pickups because of the described tone. I'm not much on piercing trebble and want to cancel some of the trebble that I'll naturally get from the maple body. Any thoughts/suggestions on pickups would be appreciated as well.
Thanks.
