The loss in high-end compared to a 500k pot is marginal: measurable, but not audible. Using a 250k master volume works excellent because in a passive system like a Strat, you can benefit from the much better taper regarding evenness compared to a 500k pot.Using two tone caps (one for each tone control) is simply perfect for this wiring, i.e., I really like to use a small cap value for the humbucker to control the warmth of it plus a traditional value for the two single-coil pickups.A good and useful distribution of the tone controls is one 500k pot for only the bridge humbucker and the other one 250k for the two single-coils.Here are my two cents regarding such a wiring: In more than 20 years, I have tried every variation of such jack-of-all-trades wirings and not a single one really worked in a useable way. My personal recommendation: Forget about it. Digging deeper at this point is too much for this column but may be a good subject for a follow-up. Good idea, but unfortunately the road to hell is paved with good resolutions. Often 500k pots are used for an auto-split wiring, incorporating some additional resistors to “convert” them to 250k for the single-coil pickups. We discussed this just a few months ago in “ Mod Garage: How to Triple Shot Your Humbuckers.”
