Wiring question

[dminner]

I have a wiring question…

I want to make a “rock” tele and I want there to only be a 3 way toggle and a single volume knob. However, there is a fairly large rear control cavity in the body and I was wanting to wire it for 2 “internal” (hidden in the cavity) volume “trim pots” (one for each pickup) so that I can get the volume of the 2 pickups to match how I like and then control the “master volume” with the single knob that is exposed on the front of the guitar.

Does that make since? Could anyone help with basic wiring diagram?

Thanks!

Honestly, it doesn't make much sense according to me. Are your pickups really that far off of each other?
Any trimpot/fixed resistor setup would also affect tone (probably very slightly but still), and you will never be able to enjoy the full output of the pickup, which leads to the question why you chose a higher output one in the first place. In any case, you'll only need one (not two): to lower the volume of the highest output pickup.
If you bring this pot to the front (or combine it with the master vol in a concentric pot for looks), you'll still be able to drive both pups full blast.
