Pickups don’t lose their high frequencies when turning down the volume.Minute changes in tone will influence volume and output and vice versa. As you decrease the tone control, the volume will decrease ever so slightly. They become more interactive with each other. The relationship between the volume and tone controls changes too. As volume is decreased, more high end frequencies are maintained allowing you to play and a lower volume with more clarity. This results in a higher output and the capacitor acts as a treble bleed. In the 50s setup, the pickup is soldered alone to the volume input lug. This can be rectified by installing a treble bleed circuit onto each volume pot. This is why many modern guitars can sound a bit muddy at lower volumes. It maintains the overall volume better as it is rolled back but at the cost of losing some of the high end frequencies. In the modern version, the pickup is connected to the volume input lug in conjunction with the capacitor. Thank you.What are the differences between the modern Les Paul wiring setup and the popular 50s version? Which is better? It all comes down to your personal preference as a guitarist.

Our Emerson Pro split shaft pots are made to fit USA Spec 24 spline push-on knobs. ![]() Installation Tips for Knobs on Split Shaft Pots This may be strange at first, but you only need a few minutes to get used to it. When you change the volume, the tone changes a little bit as well, and vice-versa. The tone and the volume controls interact with each other-something you might be familiar with from certain tweed-era Fender tube amps.Another bonus: By simply rolling back your guitar volume a bit, you can clean up an overdriven amp without getting lost in the mix. Both the volume and tone controls become more responsive, and they react more smoothly without the usual hot spots. ![]() The typical treble loss that occurs when rolling back the volume is much less than with standard wiring.It’s difficult to describe, but you might say it’s more “in your face.” The overall tone gets stronger, tighter, and more transparent.What’s so special about ’50s style wiring?
