SE One mod

[Sigiriya]

Hello everybody

I've got a PRS SE One that is in desperate need of a tone control. I don't want to mess with concentric pots and there's not much room in the factory route for an extra pot. I was thinking of mimicking a tone control by just adding a simple 2 or 3 way slider switch with a capacitor (and a resistor?) added in. A slider switch would not take up much space. I do have some beginner experience with soldering since I put a Mean 90 in my strat copy.

My goal would be to have a preset tone-rolled-off sound or two available. I guess I could tweak those sounds with different capacitor values. I don't need a whole range of rolled-off sounds.

I guess I'm looking for your thoughts and wiring ideas and especially diagrams if anyone has done this before. Thanks! Lee

There's a whole thread on this guitar and mods done to it...I can't search for some reason but if search works for you it should be pretty easy to find!

I had the same thought when I owned a One. Great way to add a little versatility without overcomplicating. Read pages 6-8 here, http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/21112-three-must-try-guitar-wiring-mods?page=6, and have at it!

Quite a lot of people have added a tone pot, though. The knobs are close together but it seems to work with with bell knobs.

Great thanks for that!
