Just watching some old videos - Les and Mary have the jacks on the front - was this done for some reason or are they prototypes?
Look almost like Dimarzios with those pole pieces....Check out all the pole pieces, and weird neck pickup on the one on the floor.
And the best female vocalist ever!Mary was SO pretty!!!
Yes! All 17 of her.And the best female vocalist ever!
Your could do master volume, master tone, and individual volumes with the other two. That might be a pretty useful setup. Honestly, I really enjoy the master volume knobs on my Guilds. Comes in handy!I might try this.
A master vol/tone setup would give you less loading when you have both pickups on. That position always sounds a little dull to me, and that would help.
maybe part of why ol les did it.

Another thing that always struck me as potentially useful with humbuckers is a G&L-style tone setup with a separate treble and bass cut knobs.That set up would really load the pickups.
with a single vol and tone each setting only sees 500k and the 500k plus cap. It gives you 3 sounds that sound like 3 different individual pickups instead of 2 pickups plus a more muddy sound.
with the stock wiring the middle selection sees 250k vol pot and 250k tone with a .044 cap. No wonder you have to roll the neck down to get some clarity.
les obviously knew this. I can’t believe I’ve never tried this before.
