Neck pickup, how do I disconnect the tone control ?

Scotland · September 18th, 2003, 02:46 PM

I never use the tone control on the neck and only want the bridge toned back when using the middle position. What is the best and easiest way to disconnect it from the neck ?

My suggestion would be to just remove the neck pickup completly and rewire it to an Esquire.

You wont believe the different in harmonics and sustain after you remove the neck pickup.

No tone on the neck, tone on bridge set to sweet spot...
