Ok, I know this is possible and I liked it, but it was a long time ago and don't remember the way to do it. No push pull or switch just at the last number or so on the tone control @9, I think it was the bridge, the coils or coil would split :eek: .The guitar was a LP Custom with a Seymore Duncan in the "as I recall" neck position. Cannot find this wiring option anywhere on the web. Anyone ever here or see this anywhere? As I recall it was an easy solder job just CRS. :o

If you can't get an answer here, I'm pretty sure you can get one here

I could see "blending" the split (gradually go from HB to SC as you turn the tone knob) and considered doing it myself. Making a full switch at a point on the dial would be trickier.

Did the knob still actually work the tone as well?
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

A true Tone pot has no connection between the resistive element and the Clockwise terminal. This was intended to prevent the tone capacitor from bleeding of high frequecies unless it was rolled back a bit from full-CW.

That type of pot must be very hard to find these days, but if you had one, you might be able to do that trick with it. Gotta think on that for a while, and now is not the best time of day for thinking clearly.
