3 humbucker wiring

[dmraco]

I need some wire help. 

I am replacing the Pickups on my Charvel Model 6.  I will have a humbucker in the Bridge Position, and single coil sized humbuckers in the middle and neck position.

I wish to have THREE volume knobs, one for each PU and NO tone knob.  SO I want to wire it as if the tone knob would be all the way up since I never touch my tone knob anyhow.

I also want to retain the original Charvel on/off switches to control the pickups.  I dig how the work.

this is not my guitar but I have the same set up.  BTW...I am getting rid of the ACTIVE PU set up and replacing with all passive models.

can anyone help??

I have a diagram for three volumes on my Flickr page that I can post later.
What are the switches for, however? Just on/off for each pickup? If that is the case, there are two ways to go about. The wiper terminals on each volume pot can be inputs, to allow independant control; or outputs, to provide a constant input impedance from the pot against each pickup. This prevents the variable impedance load against the pickups as the volumes are adjusted, but rolling the volumes down too far will affect all audible pickups.

Here's the wiring for independent volumes. The tone pot and capacitor can simply be omitted.

Thanks.  I am not opposed to a tone knob.  Maybe an independent volume for the bridge and another of the middle/neck.  Tone can be a master.  I honestly cannot comment on how the old guitar was wired...it has not worked properly since the 80!!!! :headbang1:

You can also run dual-concentric pots and have individual vol/tone as well as individual on/off switches. 
If the humbucker is 4 conductor, then you can run an On-Off-On and have up as the split coil, down as humbucking.
