Adding a blend pot to a G&L Legacy

Post by Bird Dog »

First post here. I just picked up a Tribute Legacy. Fantastic guitar for the money. No comparison between it and a similar MIM Strat I recently spent some time with. Like all Strats, the bridge pickup is too thin for my taste. I've found some amp/effects settings that make it usable, but I'd still like to fatten it up. Cutting the treble back has never satisfied me there either. I'm thinking about installing a Fralin Split Blade (Blues Output, which is the least bright) in the bridge position. Even if I'd keep the current pickup, I'd like to put blender pot in so I can blend some neck pickup to the bridge. How would one do that on a G&L and keep the PBT system which I like? Pictures of anyone adding a 4th pot to a G&L Strat would be welcome. Thx!

I can't help with adding a blend pot, but you might consider adding a pickup expander switch, as it will give you two additional combinations: Neck and Bridge, all three pickups.
See this in our Gallery: Album: 1992-present Legacy PTB Controls.

Hope this helps.
