(I agree with what you're saying regarding the pots etc. too, apart from the fact I've never actually got round to trying 50s wiring. I'm guessing the end result of it is like a slightly less extreme treble-pass circuit, that's what I've heard, anyway?)

Excellent, thanks
I did, however, try it on my tele and changed it back pretty quick I preferred the sweep better with modern. How much is down to the pickups and how much to the guitar I don't know. I keep meaning to try it on my strat to see which I prefer with it (master tone with dummy tone pot not wired to anything).

I believe David Gilmour uses low-output pup's for similar reasons, Ie he lets the amp, and outboard gear set the tone, rather than having the pup's set the tone and not be able to vary it as much.
Incidentally, I like to roll back the volume, but usually set things at somewhere between 6-7 or full up. I also like to tweak the tone pots.

You make a good point about the style of guitar maybe playing a part, too- you hear about 50s wiring a lot on Gibson-style guitars, but not so much on Fender-style guitars...
