Pus Hooked straight through

[ibreakemineedtobuildem]

I'm about to do my first wiring job.For 5 years or so I,ve been using my guitar without volume,tone,toggle or input.Just a cut cord soldered to the pu wires and hooked to ground on bridge.

Im sure this is everything that u electric dudes hate.My question is what will my tone benifits be to hook up v,t,t.Considering I never used the tone or turned the v down.

I do want a toggle though for neck pu purposes.

Just wondering

Actually , if you like your tone, adding V/T controls will only cause you to lose high end because of the pickup loading. I personally would at least run a 1meg resistor across each pickup before the switch, but no law says you have to. The only advantage is being able to adjust your tone/volume without walking back to your amp. If you don't need it, and don't want it, don't do it.

Yeah...whatever works..

Just to add to what Lovekraft said, yes, you will get a loss of some high end once you put the 2 tone controls in.. However, there is a little mod that can do to get what you call a no load pot.. The tutorial's in the electronics section of the main site..

What this does is prevents this slight (but hell of a noticable) drop in your guitar's treble even when your tone is on max... If you've never used the volume or tone in your guitars before, this could be a safe way of trying em out.. You retain your original tone while being able to utilize the volume and tone controls.. Hope this makes sense..
