If you want to incorporate a coil-tap without any major modifications to your guitar, then using a switched pot is a good solution.
£4.75
Excellent quality switched potentiometer with "Push-Pull" DPDT.
TIP 1: Use LOG pots for Volume controls, and, LINEAR pots for Tone.
TIP 2: 500K Ohm pots have a slightly "brighter" sound than 250K Ohm pots as they place less load on the pickup. Therefore, 500K pots are more commonly used with humbuckers. 250K pots are often used with single coils as they can temper some of the shrill brightness. However, both values are interchangeable and can used according to taste.
