I heard the pros and cons of 50's wiring and decided it was for me.. I thought it sounded great, but I neglected to thoroughly test it. I found a couple of months later if I had the neck pickup selected, the volume would decrease steadily from 10 to 2 but then go back up on 0; there was always a little signal coming through. With only the one pickup selected, if I rolled off the opposite volume control entirely, then the guitar turned off. Same with the bridge pickup, but both pickups together reacted normally. I double checked my wiring and it was OK. I used 500k pots, audio taper for volume, linear for tone. I rewired to modern style and things behaved correctly, but the tone is darker. What happened?
