i bought an old Coronado hollow body at a flea mkt. it plays beautiful and sounds great acousticaly. the problem is someone rewired it all wrong. it has 2pickups 3volume and 1tone knobs and a 3 position switch. they wired it thrue 1 volume knob and to the plug in. i want to wire it the way it should be but i cant find any schematics for this setup. i plan to restore it due to the history off this brand. and i love the way it feels when i play it. any help or ideas would be great. i plan to post pictures later on. many thanx in advace.

Ive looked around a bit, but havnt been able to find anyhting with 3 volumes an 1 tone. How many pickups does it have? Are you sure that it doesnt have 2 vol and 2 tone?

I think if one of the pickups was split it would be a 5 way switch too...I'm not an expert at wiring but I've done it, and what you are saying doesn't make sense to me.
