This configuration yields the behavior we've come to expect from a passive guitar. Wiring a volume control to your guitar isn’t too hard. The input comes from your pickup’s ‘hot’ wire (usually via the pickup selector and the output goes to your output jack. First, study the wiring diagram shown here. There are three lugs on your volume pot that all do slightly different jobs, as per the image below, from left to right you have an input, an output, and a ground lug. It's easy to wire a les paul so the volume controls work independently: You simply wire the volume pots backwards. As shown in image 1, in this wiring scheme the tone cap is connected between the volume pot's input and the tone pot's middle lug (aka wiper), which in this case is also the output.
