Apologies if this has been raised before but I am confused.
Some diagrams have 500k audio pots for volume and 500k linear pots for tone. Others just use audio pots for both. Another used 300k linear for volume and 500k audio for tone.
There also seems to be a mix of .022 and .047 uF caps.
I have a matched pair of PAF clones and will be using SD Triple Shots for flexibility and due to fact the I won't fit push-pulls in my cavity.
Help!

Pardon my opinion, but if flexibility is what you are after then I would not use the triple-shots. From a player's perspective a couple of mini-toggles will deliver you as much as you'll ever need (and with just a simple flick of a finger).
On a bridge pickup I would have only a choice between two coils in parallel or two coils in series.
On a neck pickup I would elect to choose either the slug coil or screw coil or both in series.
Throw in an 'out of phase switch' and you will pretty much have every audible difference that most will be able to disseminate.
If your PAF clone bridge pup is not wound super-hot it will sound like a tinny piece of junk when the coils are split.
Anyway, those triple-shots are too damned fiddly IMHO!
