Andrew Paul
The cat's meow
I posted my recent purchase Stripped 58. First time since the 90s I’ve had a Les Paul style with two volumes and two tones. (Did own 594 for a very short time). Perhaps I’m ignorant or just don’t remember but what’s the purpose of two volumes? I assumed that with the pickup selector selected in the middle with both pickups on you could blend the volume of each pickup but with this guitar it doesn’t work that way. This guitar with selector in the middle the volume of either pickup effects the overall volume. In other words if I happen to turn the Bridge pickup volume all the way down with both selected the neck pickup is also affected and you can’t hear it. Maybe a better way to explain is when both pickups are selected turning down either volume all the way acts like one volume control for both. Is this the way it supposed to work? I looked at the control cavity it’s all original factory wiring.
Thanks
