Question Rewiring position 3 to mid single coil only

[DrKev]

Yes, I was considering exactly the same. But I am not sure how the silent circuit will be affected if I connect a 470kΩ or 510kΩ resistor in parallel with the mid single coil.

Won't be affected.

Another thing is the tone control. I was considering a bypassable Fender tone control pot, but they are only available as 250kΩ and I am not sure if the tone control needs to match the resistance of the volume control or not.

They don't need to match.

Won't be affected.

Good and it makes sense. A 500k pot (on 10) in parallel with a 470k or 510k resistor should be identical to a 250k pot set to 10.
