cappel95 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hello everyone, I am new to Les Pauls and just bought an Epiphone Les Paul 1954 reissue in Oxblood and have a question about the pickup selector. When I have the selector in the center position and I turn the volume on one pickup really low I can't hear either pickup at all. Is this supposed to be like this or is something wrong with the wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, it's supposed to be like that. They are all wired like that. If either volume is turned down almost all the way, it cuts off the volume both. You can have it rewired so each works independently. I have my LP and SG like this. It's just how I prefer it.

animalfarm Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I have asked me-self that question... Whyfore iz they wiring gits with "Modern" wiring anyway? "3 way switch in middle, turn one volume down, BOTH pup outputs go down. Wanna know why? Also Independent Volume Control wiring..." http://forum.gibson.com/index.php/topic/52411-3-way-switch-in-middle-turn-one-volume-down-both-pup-outputs-go-down-wanna-know-why/page__pid__707012#entry707012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappel95 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies. I think I'm just gonna leave it the way it is. I just wanted to know if something was wrong with it. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll wire it up independently but its fine for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiman56 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Moot point for me either way ... I hardly ever touch either volume knob ('cept to make sure they're both maxed out). Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
