Ok, I switched to the 50's wiring on my 58RI (04) so that when I roll off volume I don't lose all my tone. I play directly into my amp and roll the volume up on leads and down on rythm.
Ok here's what happened - There's a slight difference when I roll off the volume, some of my tone is saved - but still a noticable drop - so still not the greatest. However, the tone pot works weird now. The tone contol has barely any change rolling down from 10-3 but all the tone is gone between 3-1. Wassup with that?
Anyhow, so my luthier (who is also a collector) checks the wiring on a real 59 and notices one difference. The ground wire is attached to all the pots.
Does this make any difference at all? I was wondering because of the wiring diagrams posted on this board there is no mention of the ground wire.
Any help is appreciated!
