Evening all, I bought some 57/08's (3 wire type, white for tap), I now need to get the rest of kit/look so I can wire them in.
I'd like to use the same caps & resistors to try and replicate the split you get in a PRS, but at this stage I'm not even sure which parts to get!
Ideally, I'd just like to use one push/pull tone pot, that would split both pickups.
Im guessing it's 3x CTS 500k pots, then the push/pull, there seems to be type A and B?
This is the McCarty 58 diagram to show what they use cap / resistor wise.
Any help / idiots guide / wiring diagram appreciated.

The DiMarzio push/pull pots are made by CTS, as are the PRS ones. Side by side, they look absolutely identical. You'll need the 500K long shaft version, A taper, as ICBM says.
The white leads go to the lugs on the switch that are closest to the pot and the resistors are wired between the middle lugs and the casing to earth them. The wiring is fairly easy. I also agree that it's worth having a push/pull for each pickup. That way you can have the maximum number of combinations of split and full humbuckers. If you do that, you need to wire just one side of the switch on each pot.
I'll update the image for 100% reassurance tonight, might have a go at this tomorrow then
Thanks @ADP
