Members trashbeast Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a few guitars I would love to do this mod to. I love guitars like Les Pauls that have 2 vol, 2 tone. I love the sound of a neck pickup with the tone all the way down, but I always have the tone all the way up on the brdge for my leads. Let's say I have a guitar with 2 pickups. 1 vol, 3 way switch, 1 tone. Is there any way to make the tone control only affect the neck pickup?

Members prsguitarman101 Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have heard it is doable, but I don't know enough about electonics to know how to do it, maybe someone else can explain further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bubkus_jones Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 As it is right now, with a master volume and master tone, the pickups should be going into the switch first, then into the volume and tone controls and then to the output. If you just want the neck pickup to be affected, move the tone control to be between the neck pickup and the switch. Neck Pickup --- Tone --- Switch --- Volume --- Output Jack The bridge will still go direct into the switch.

Or for $1.50, they'll also do up a high-rez PDF file (better suited for printing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reverberlayed Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 The bridge pickup will sound slightly different with no tone pot in the circuit. You could get a concentric tone pot to be used on both pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
