Bypass volume pot. Single pickup.

[Guitarist4life]

I have a Lawrence A-345c acoustic pickup that I want to mod.

These pickups have a mini volume pot built in them that I don't like(it takes away too much highs). Anyone know what lugs do I need to short to bypass the pot?

Tight working conditions on those. If you can get to it, lifting the hot wires off the pot would work then insulating them. The ground wire can be left in place with the two hot wires connected together, one going to the coil and one going to the center core wire of the cord.

 

A better idea would be to put a bleeder cap on there so when its turned down your trebble is retained.

oh ok, thanks! BTW, Is anything lost even when the volume pot is all the way up?

There shouldnt be enough to where an amp cant make up for it. Most amps have a volume knob and if the knob needs to be ticked up a 1/4 notch it shouldnt be a big deal. If the output is that low where you're needing to do a mod like this then I say you need a preamp not a pot mod to boost your volume.
