volume wiring on sg v.s. sheraton

Hi--can anybody say why the wiring in the two pickup postion on an sg is done such that the volume cuts out completely when either volume is turned off? vs. a Sheraton, where the two pickups are just blended, and if one is turned off completely, the other stays on? I'm curious.

On your SG I think you have the standard "les Paul" wiring and the volume pots are in parallel. When you turn down one to zero it cuts out the other. The Sheraton has independent volume pots so you don't get the same effect. I think that's right - someone will correct me if not.

 

The link below has some explanation.
