2 humbuckers / 2 Pots wiring help.
Hi guys, so i'm trying to work out the best way of wiring 2 humbuckers to only 2 pots and 1 switch. I want to get the most out of them but dont want to crowd the front of the guitar.
The body will be a thinline with double 'F' cuts in it - i'll be fitting the pots through the 'F' (No access panel) and i will allow for 1 switch. I know there are push pull pots about but aren't these for splitting humbuckers? Really i need a pot that does volume AND tone and a switch to flick from neck / both / bridge - if only Any ideas greatly appreciated. |

A concentric volume/tone pot will do what you want. (Like on the old danelectros). you can get them from stew-mac or guitarpartsresource. You would only have "one" knob on the front of the guitar and the switch. Thats how I did this guitar.

Hi Originalmatthew, that seems to be exactly what i'm looking for, I did a quick google and found some of those pots and knobs, is there any chance you can tell me a bit about the functionality and setup. Is it just a stacked pot with one level for volume and one for tone? how does the switch work in conjunction with it? Does it allow you to alter the individual sound for each pickup?
Thats a really nice guitar too, stunning!! Is that a inlay in the front or a hole? Sorry my eyes arent what they used to be. Cheers Pete |
