Hi. I'm wondering about a variation of the spin-a-split diagram. Let's say I have a H/S/H configuration (5 coils), 2 volume knobs, 1 master tone, and a standard 5-way switch. Would it be possible to have 1 volume for 3 coils (for example: inside bridge, middle, inside neck), and 1 volume for the other 2 coils (in this case: the outside coils of both humbuckers)? I am trying to extend the spin-a-split idea to both humbuckers, with volume control over both coils of each, and with minimal knobs. I am actually not yet sure which coils I would like to assign each volume, so advice on this would also be helpful. Thank you!

Re: spin-a-split variation help
Hey Jake; Welcome to the forum.
There's really no good way to use one pot for more than one spin-a-split. (At least, none that I've figured out.) You can, however, use a dual-ganged pot. It's two resistor elements on a common shaft. That would allow you to control two 'buckers with a single knob, but you'ld have to make sure you had the depth to mount the larger control pot.
As far as having separate volumes for split-coils and the single, and the outside coils, that might be possible. Let me chew on that for a bit.
Stay tuna-ed.
