Tech Talk Ep.1 -The "Jimmy Page" Wiring Explained

The Origins:

 In the early 1980s, Jimmy Page decided to make his 59 Les Paul an even more versatile instrument and explore the full range of what the two Humbuckers had to offer. Without wanting to damage his beloved guitar, Jimmy employed a Master Electronics Technician. Working with the technician, Page designed a switching system for coil splitting, series/parallel, and phase-reverse options. The result comprised, a revolutionary system of a push/pull pot on each of the guitar’s four standard controls now known as the signature "Jimmy Page Wiring."
