CeeJay Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Since my last topic i ran into a new issue, do explorers really have enough room to put the switch where the neck volume was? I like explorers better with just two shafts and the switch where the volume should be, so can I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leif Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 there's a place for at least a pot there,so a toggle switch should fit.If the original gibson switch doesn't,smaller ones are available at low price.I bet you have a soldering iron and know how to use it?!

Just one thing i forgot to ask. where did you get the pick guard with no toggle switch hole? did you make it by yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine made at Pickguard Heaven AKA Chandler. http://pickguards.us/priceexplorer.html I much prefer the toogle switch close by rather than way out front on the horn.

Estes Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hey VeeMan. That is a great looking Explorer, and great photo at that rate! I wanted to ask you if you did the electronics with the push-pull pots to have a tone control along with volume on both Humbuckers, or exactly what the two pots are set up to control? I want to do a wiring set-up of an in series but to have a tone pot on each pick-up like a les Paul...was contemplating using a router to enlarge the cavity in back to accept a 4th pot but then I stumbled onto a page on Jimmy Page's #1 and #2 1959 Les Pauls' specs with push-pull pots. I dont know if these can be set up for a volume/tone per pot yet, but now I know they exist I was curious if thats what you did in relocating your selector switch? Thanks.

veeman Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 They are just simple CTS 500K pots, 1 volume, 1 tone. Nothing fancy, no push/pulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
