I can't think of too many items you can purchase, use happily for two years, and sell for a very tidy profit to those who don't want to wait. That's why I gave you folks the heads up! Mike mitigates this by limiting to three King of Tone purchases lifetime.
I just figured that it's a zero risk proposition. I get to try out a nice pedal, and if I don't like it, I can get what I paid for it back. If someone wants to buy me a pint as a way of thanking me for selling it to them, I won't stop them. Don't think I'd be comfortable profiting from it that much, though. The guys who make the pedals could probably add a couple of notes to the asking price, but they don't.
Again, I am a total newb with pickup wiring and stuff, so I might sound stupid here. But, I chose the 4 wire option when I put in my order. Does that cover what you're talking about, or is it something I should actually talk to the tech about at the shop?
You weren't talking to me here, but you chose the 4 conductor wire pickups, so you're good to go on the push pulls.
But just incase someone else is thinking about doing the same thing but doesn't have four conductor wire pickups, it's not the end of the world. It's possible to modify pickups, providing you know how/know someone who can.
When I first came to Japan, I looked for a guitar tech who spoke English. The guy I found wasn't actually a guitar tech, but he was a guy with a very demanding job who just happened to also be highly regarded luthier and pickup winder in his spare time. I got to talking with him about Jimmy Page and my interest in his wiring scheme.
The guy gave me a shopping list consisting of good push pull pots and paper in oil caps and he converted the pickups to four wire conductor and did a bit of wizardry in the control cavity of my '03 Les Paul standard.
I'll be adding a bigsby to that guitar soon. I don't play it as much as my customs, but between the bigsby and the wiring, it'll be my go to guitar for the various things my other guitars don't do.
I was only going to buy the push/pull pot, not a capacitor. But, I guess now that you mention it, will I need to actually buy a new capacitor to go along with the new pot?
You don't need to, but goodpaper in oil caps are cheap, and since at least one of the caps will need to be at least temporarily removed, you might as well just buy a pair of paper in oil caps and do it now. You've got ceramic caps in there. They do the job, but tinkering with a wiring cavity is always a good excuse to be rid of them.
