jackjss Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 So, I had a really ambitious idea with a guitar I'm building. The body style is similar to X shaped guitars, and I was going to have four pickups in an X shape (offset so that each guitar string is covered by at least one of course) and use tone/volume knobs to blend the output like some basses do instead of using a typical selector. Now, I am thinking it will have 4 volume potentiometers (one for each) and then perhaps 2 tone to adjust the tone for two each. Now, I realize this would require a lot of soldering and likely be a massive headache to construct, but is it doable? Any suggestions on my idea? What to change?

Tim37 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 In my head I'm envisioning a g&l z coil split with volumes on each leg. It should be doable it would wire like a LP with independent volumes in the middle position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Another option is two blend pots feeding one volume pot each. If you want the ability to do tone control on two pickups at once without cross-feeding the other two pickups you'll have to use dual gang pots.

Tim37 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 That would be cool maybe do a push pull on the tone for a phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
