Read up on this. The way yours is wired now when your in the middle position whatever vol. is higher acts as a master vol., with 50's independent wiring you can raise or lower either vol. to get the blend you want to hear. High Quality pots make a difference. I put CTS in my Black Beauty with the stock pickups and it sounds better, more clear to me, and the taper when rolling the vol. or tone back is smoother, not abrupt. When I put Fuglybuckers in Brownie(in my avatar) I used an EVH low friction vol. and 2 CTS tones. Your changing Pickups because you want better tone and that's great, but offshore pots effect tone in a bad way. Don't get discouraged, be patient and do the work once. You will be very happy you did.
