Removing Tone Pots?

[Low_End_Communications]

I've got an Agile AL-2000, LP copy guitar, that I'd like to remove the tone pots from. I've heard a few LP-style guitars with the tone pots bypassed, and like the sound.

The tone pots are connected to the volume knobs by only two knobs... one connected to a lug on the volume knob and then another soldered right to the pot's shell (the ground).

If I desolder those wires and pull out the tone knobs, will my guitar still work? I'm a wiring n00b, and can't read schematics to save my life, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

take the wire from the middle lug of the tone pot. disconnect it and have it run to the output jack instead.

or do this connection: output -> volume -> pickup no wire connected to the tone. that's my current setup

I think you can just short across the two wires going to a tone pot to take it out of the circuit.

Like in this circuit, just solder a wire across both inputs to the tone pot:

By Ohm's law I declare the tone circuit to then be null and void.

yeah, just completely disconnect the jumper and the ground jumper between the tone and volume

then you could use it for something different and awesome like a spin a split or something
