Independent Volume with 2 pickups and a selection switch:
If you wish independent volume control when the selection switch is in the “both” position, input the pickups to the W (Wiper) pair (pins 3-4) and take
the output from either CW pair (pins 1-2 or 5-6) as in Diagrams #3 or #4.
Sending the pickup input to the wiper (W Terminal) is common in installations that have two pickups but no selection switch, it allows the volume control
of each pickup to work indpendent of the other. A Volume/Volume/Master Tone setup is a perfect example of this. If you have a selection switch, using
the W pair (pins 3 and 4) allows each volume control to work independently in the “both” pickup switch position.

Diagram NOTES:
Diagrams #1 and #2 perform the same function.
Diagram #1 shows the pickup input going into the CW pair (pins 1 and 2).
Diagram #2 shows the pickup input going to the CW pair (pins 5 and 6).
Again, pairs 1-2 and 5-6 are interchangeable, both are the CW pair.
Both diagrams show the output coming from the W pair (pins 3 and 4).
Instruments with one pickup:
It is recommended plugging the pickup onto either CW pair (pins 1-2 or 5-6) and taking the output of the Volume control from the W pair (pins 3-4)
as in Diagram #1 or #2.
Master Volume with 2 pickups and a selection switch:
If you wish master volume control when the selection switch is in the “both” position, input the pickups onto either CW (Clockwise) pair (pins 1-2 or 5-6)
and take the output from the W (Wiper) Pair, pins 3-4, as in Diagrams #1 or #2
Independent volume with 2 pickups and no selection switch:
Sending the pickup input to the wiper (W Terminal) is common in installations that have 2 pickups but no selection switch. This allows the volume
control of each pickup to work independent of the other. A Volume/Volume/Master Tone setup is a perfect example of this. Pickup input to the
W pair (pins 3 and 4) allows each volume control to work independently.
