smips65 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 If, and I do mean if, a guy wanted to have control over all 3 pups in one of these. What would be the best solution? http://www.dv247.com/guitars/epiphone-les-paul-custom-3-plus--42162 It's clearly stated, 2-volumn....2-tone pots installed. The middle pup is "floating" I think... I'm a keep it stock sort of guy, so I'm interested in a push/pull knob type of setup. Does this mean gobs of soldering and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 3 pup LPS are usualy 3 vols and a master tone. You own the guitar, so you could check and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungrycat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have' date=' and as stated 2 and 2, that's the reason for my question.[/quote'] That's weird. They're almost ALWAYS 3 vols/1 tone. I suppose you could take the cap off of one of the tones and run the pup to it, just use it as a 3rd volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Here's a couple links to some info I looked at. Has some cool mods along with some OEM diagrams. Don't know if it'll help but here goes!

MaxHart85231281734137 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 so is your middle pup just hard wired in there ( no tone or volume controls) how does you 3 way switch work? neck/middle/bridge? thats pretty strange....my Riveria P93 has the 3 volume 1 tone, i say u take out one of the vol knobs and add a 6 way rotary switch thats what my gibby sg with 3 humbuckers has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 A real 3 way toggle switch. Neck, bridge, or either combined with the middle PU. Volume for neck and bridge. One Tone for two combined PUs, and one Tone for the other. There you go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go: [img']http://www.dominocs.com/Gibson/WiringLibrary/wiring-3pupCustom.gif[/img] Forgive my ignorance of all things with wires and such. On this schematic, it appears to me that the middle pup is connected only to the 3-way switch, (on the upper left), bridge and neck pup are clearly wired into both sets of pots. Am I examining this correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
