Master volume for both pu's

Ok I'm ready to be shot down here. Being a life long tele man I would really love the option to have a master volume. I would love it if you could have one of the volume pots to work as a master using a push pull. Would this be possible? So that if you pulled one of the volumes it would become a master volume for both pu's like on a tele.

Re: Master volume for both pu's

On a Les Paul, the solution for a Master Volume is:

  • Master Volume
  • Bridge Volume
  • Neck Volume
  • Master Tone

Basically, wired like a Grestch...

Re: Master volume for both pu's

What about: Master Volume, Blend (bridge and neck), and individual tones?
It works well for bassists...

Re: Master volume for both pu's

I'm no wiring expert, but I think is not possible to turn one of the volumes into a master volume with a push pull. You'll need to "lift" two push pulls to achieve this or find some kind of "super push pull" (see picture below). I can draw something for you if you are interested.

Re: Master volume for both pu's

The Grestch wiring on the pdf is different to the picture above. What are the properties of each?
