How to wire this?

[Musician78]

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,

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.

That’s exactly what I thought but wasn’t positive. Thank you!

nice axe. Never saw one with a maple board before!

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.
