50's mod???'s Where to Find Schematic???

[JumpMarine]

Hey guys, just got the parts in from Blackrose to upgrade the electronics on my Agile DC LP as the tone pots were finally crapping out. I got cts pots that individually read 498, 500, 502 and 502k. Is there any advantage in the specific placement of any of these pots or are the values close enough to not matter? I also got both .022 and .047 OD's to try out. I've been reading up on the 50's mod but can't seem to find a schematic for it, Help! I need a visual aid to be able to do this properly.

Just finished up and it was a great success. Upgrading to cts pots and OD's really made this guitar come alive. It stays more chimey when I roll back the vol as it's supposed to with the 50's mod. I don't know if it's just me wanting to hear it sound better, but I really think that it opened up the real character of the wood and the pups. John, what is it that you don't like about the 50's mod? What would you have done, the modern LP wiring?

I never liked the way the volume pot tapers worked when I tryed the mod,also the way the tone rolls off...
