    How to wire this?

    I’m taking a Charvel Model 4 body and putting two singles and a humbucker in it. The pickups turn on or off by mint toggle switches. I want each pickup to have its own volume. No tone. How can I do this?

    Thanks,
    -Justin

    Wire each pickup to its respective volume pot, connect the volume pot output to the mini-toggle, and connect the 'output' of each mini-toggle to the output jack.


    On my Model 4 I removed the mini-toggle switches, reamed the bottom pot hole for a 3-way toggle switch and wired it with a single 500K volume pot. Currently equipped with a Cool Rails & Custom Custom as of 2019.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

        The maple board isn't original; it was originally attached to a Model 2 that I picked up a year or two after the first guitar. Life story available here.
