So what is this secret 50's wiring that you guys are discussing? Couldn't find the clip I was looking for but the first 5 mins of this one covers some of the ground - the '57 LP Junior he is playing is definitely 50's wiring. It's a pity he doesn't demonstrate the smooth bassy neck humbucker jazz sound you can also get from what is a bridge P90! The circuit is very, very simple and can be done completely reversibly on any conventionally wired volume and tone pairing: I suspect no-one is completely sure why they stopped wiring like this - other than it takes a bit more skill and subtlety to play. Maybe it was just deemed easier to be able to say: 'The volume knob controls the volume and the tone knob controls the tone'. The only difference when I do this is that I put a linear pot on the volume - this makes, for me, the sweep to find the right tone quickly and easily, easier and faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
