Update: fixed, it would appear changing the pots for a different brand was all that was needed!

I cant tell you how happy that makes me mate, the pots i used were relatively cheap, so I've got 4 better quality ones on the bench ready to be wired up; i'll let you know how it goes! Do you think wiring the tone capacitors as modern wiring rather than 50s wiring would help things out or make much of a difference? Thanks so much again!

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/volume-never-fully-off-with-jimmy-page-wiring.2504372/ i posted the same issue to another forum, whatdya make of these mate?

Thanks mate, I'll try that first before re-doing the layout. Keep ya posted once I've done so for future readers!

Thats odd, the neck volume has a very low figure flickering above zero, and the bridge volume, has no reading at all. I'm gonna try a different brand of push pull puts and rewire the whole thing, theres nothing physically stopping it from going to 0 but at this point I think its worth trying!

Yeah it reads zero ohms on both volume pots. How would one identify a high resistance ground? Thank you so much for this help btw!

Oh sorry yes i missed that, I'll check that just now; with the volume at 10 or 0?

No more buzz than usual, no other issues. Yeah ground continuity follows through to the cable.

I test them all from each pot in correlation to every other pot, all singing fine. The multimeter i have has the ground option, so when the two points are touching metal it just displays a 1 and a constant beep. Someone on another forum has suggested it could be due to the 50s wiring of the capacitors?

Hey everyone! https://ibb.co/jwcjMvN The wiring diagram in question. I've just wired up my homemade firebird with Jimmy Page wiring using Seymour Duncan pickups, and everything works great except for there is volume bleeding through on 0 on both volume pots. Regardless of which pots are enabled, the volume never goes to absolute 0 and off. I've checked grounding on everything with the multimeter, and pots are self grounded with grounding going to the bridge, switch, and jack.
