I've never modded my guitar before but I've done a few of the BYOC pedals. Just want to ask a question before I get started. Is there a way to do the vintage Gibson 50's wiring, a blender pot, and the solo switch mod all in one? I would think that some mods could get in the way of others but I wasn't really sure. It seems if I follow some schematics close enough, then I'll get it.

Is this an HH, SSS, or SSH pickup setup?

The vintage 50s wiring that the volume and tone control individual pickups, right? Are you looking to add extra knobs, or work the standard 3 knob to have separate volumes?

And do you want the "solo switch" to just be a volume and tone knob bypass? Do you want that after, or before the selection method?

I also have no clue what you mean by blender knob. That could mean a handful of things, depending on the pickup setup and what you'd like it to do.

From what I gather, this sounds like a derivative of a wiring mod that I've been planning for years.

Edit: Actually, if you'd like to just tell me what the pickup setup is, what knobs you want, and what you want them to do, I'll gladly write up a wiring schematic for you.

By blender I'm assuming he means a middle position PU blend with a tone/volume control.
I have no idea what the solo switch or the 50s wiring are though. If by solo you mean a volume boost, then you'll have to add an active circuit.

I was thinking that a blender knob would be for a 2 pickup guitar, in place of a 3 way switch. Placing the positives on either end of a 500k pot and the middle tab going to the volume controls/output. But I don't know if this guy is using a 3 pup or a 2 pup setup.
