    Thank you for the diagram. I’m still not sure what the third wire does.

    I’ve been working on fretted instrument’s about 5 1/2 years so I’m pretty new. I started off helping a friend who was only putting together Tele(parts)casters. When I needed to get away from him (personality disorder, not healthy) I decided the best way to expand my abilities was to find / purchase / donation’s, learn the work and then donate them to underserved organizations or individual’s. Since then I’ve donated almost 90 instruments to places such as Ronald McDonald House, Guitars 4 Vets, Jail Guitar Doors, Homeless Vets in Inglewood, Ca., Safe Place For Youth, 3 different locations for the Venice Family Clinic, Harmony Project LA, a local mom and pop for their rental program, multiple school music programs, Collage – a place for art and culture located in San Pedro, Ca and numerous individual’s. Many instruments were entry-level or student grade but a small number of them had real monetary value. The guitar’s are not given away unless they are in excellent playable condition. A couple have had neck-resets but that procedure is still in the learning stages. I don’t have the place or experience to do restoration work. Feels great to give them away and make someone’s day. The majority of the work I do though is client paid.

    Gerry, what I was looking for was for the volumes to work independently in the middle position. Thank you.

    Hi Jon,

    Not with a master. I’m looking to be able to dial in both pickups in the middle position using the volumes independently. Thank you. Any diagrams greatly appreciated.

    Yes. The pickup is brand new but not having any luck getting it to work. Have tried multiple configurations – wouldn’t think the pickup would be defective.

    To level it out would I be able to wet sand it with 2000 grit or will that scratch it? Thanks Ian.
