Pickup controls question

Recommended Posts

Recently picked-up a 2011 Gibson ES-335 Custom Dot Reissue and found that the pickup controls work differently than my old 1984 335.

On the 2011, with the PU selector switch in the middle position, I cannot just turn on or turn up and hear just one of the pickups, unless both volume knobs have been turned up a bit.

Is this typical of newer models or something set-up wrong?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, TC

Every single two pickup Gibby I have works like that; in the middle position you must have both knobs turned up slightly. It has been that way for decades.
