Coil split Wiring question

[Jr_vw2]

So I have a guitar that I want to rewire. 2 humbuckers 1 volume and 3 way switch is the current setup. I'd like to swap the volume pot out for a push pull so I can coil split the humbuckers. What kind of pot doni need ...ie are all push pull pots the same? And does anyone have a wiring diagram? Thanks.

Something like this diagram? Most push pulls are the same, and they look like the one on this diagram.

Yes. Exactly what I'm after. Thank you. I ordered these. They look a little more compact

Those should work just fine.

Re: Coil split Wiring question

I really love those CTS p/p pots. Just keep in mind that they use a different size knob than the import p/p pot that Mincer posted. If your current pot is CTS, then the CTS p/p is your ticket. But if your current pot is an import, don't be upset if your knob doesn't fit the CTS p/p.

Also, the CTS p/p is NOT more compact. In fact it's quite a bit bigger...not longer but wider, it uses a larger diameter pot. But it is far easier to wire than the import. The lugs are connected to larger holes on the fiberboard that are clearly labeled. Very easy to insert the stripped wires and then solder.
