I do a lot of rolling back the volume to get different gain levels, so I much prefer a master volume to each pickup having its own. However, a tone that I love on my Gibson is the middle (both humbuckers) with the neck pickup volume backed off slightly. It sounds like the bridge with a little more roundness.
I've been thinking of a way to emulate this in my PRS guitars, which are master volume, master push/pull coil split tone, 3 way blade.
My initial idea is adding a mini switch that puts a resistor in series with the neck pickup's hot. Whatever value is the same as my volume knob at like 9 or so. Something tells me that the tone I'm after has to do with having two volume knobs working together, and not just the neck output being a little less.
Any ideas? I'd prefer if it was on a separate switch so the normal middle position was still available, but I'm fine if it's a permanent middle setting, too.
