Re: HELP - 1 humbucker, 1 lil humbucker, 3 way blade switch, 1 Volume Schematic
Yup. A tone control looks like this:
Take the wire that goes to the volume control and connect it to the lug thats opposite ground for a conventional tone control. Connect it to the center lug for the 50's mod.
It isn't necessary to connect the cap to both of the left-hand lugs, but I do it for two reasons:
1. It makes it easier to install. I place my tone pot shaft into a soft-jawed vise with the terminals facing me. I slide the lead from the cap through the left two terminals and solder them both. Now, when I go to insert it into the guitar, I don't need to concern myself with which terminal goes to the volume control. There's only one left.
2. This won't matter when its new, but after the tone pot gets a few years under its belt, it may become intermittent. By wiring it this way, the pot will jump to "10", rather than jump to open. (Infinity.) Think of it as a more desirable failure mode.
As for the split, you can use the black wire if you want to split to the adjustable coil. Use the green wire, or ground, to split to the stud coil.
