OT???? : wiring a 3 pickup les paul.

[backintheussa]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a better way to wire my 3 pickup les paul. The switch is normally wired so that the treble is the bridge pickup, the middle is the bridge and middle and the rhythm is the neck. The volume/tone controls are only for the bridge and neck pickups. I think this is a little disappointing as there aren't as many options as one would hope. Can I have some suggestions on how to wire it to have some more versatility? I was thinking about wiring the pots so that there are three volumes and one master tone. I was also thinking about wiring the middle so that its output is parallel to the output from the switch and wiring the switch normally. Should I stick to the stock wiring or play around with it? Is this a special switch, and if so are there any places to order a replacement switch if it breaks? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A buddy of mine wanted his switch done away with, and just adjust 3 volumes to blend the pickups in whatever combination he wanted.

My personal advice would be to go over to www.projectguitar.com and register on the forums there. the guys on there know the answer to almost every question you could ever want to know about guitars.

also in the tutorials section on the site there are a load of wiring diagrams, you may find something there
