I just got an se 245 today and noticed something a bit strange. If I have the pickup switch in the middle and I roll one of the volumes knobs down both pick ups will shutoff (both lose volume). It happens regardless of which volume knob I use. Is that normal?
Volume Knobs acting weird?

Yes, that’s how most two volume guitars are wired.

Yes, that’s common with any Gibson style 2 volume 2 tone wiring setup. It has some advantages, like doing volume swells by leaving the bridge up full and rolling in the neck from zero, a la Phil Keaggy or Jeff Beck. You’re good.

Yep! This is when you use the toggle switch the play Bombtrack.

I asked this same question when i got my 245.
I got the same answers. I just leave mine rolled up above 5 and never have that problem anymore.
