The Carparelli "Panethere" Chrome T-Style Dual Volume Control Plate

Independent Neck & Bridge Volume Control — Master Tone — Premium Components

This Carparelli pre-wired chrome T-Style control plate is designed for players who want more control, more blend options, and more flexibility from a traditional 2-pickup T-Style guitar.

Unlike a standard Tele-style control layout with one master volume and one master tone, this setup gives you separate volume control for each pickup using a CTS concentric potentiometer. That means you can leave the bridge pickup wide open while rolling back the neck, bring the neck in gradually against the bridge, or create endless pickup blend combinations that are not possible with a standard control plate.

The layout shown in the photos is:

3-Way Switch → Master Tone → Concentric Neck/Bridge Volume

This gives you classic 3-way pickup selection, one master tone control, and independent volume control for the neck and bridge pickups.

Why This Setup?

This control plate is ideal for players who want the familiar feel of a T-Style guitar but with more control over pickup balance.

You can:

Roll back the neck pickup while keeping the bridge full and bright.
Keep the bridge pickup strong while blending in just enough neck warmth.
Balance mismatched pickups more precisely.
Create cleaner rhythm tones and fuller lead tones without touching the amp.
Use the 3-way switch normally while still having individual pickup volume control.

It is a smart upgrade for players who like traditional controls but want more usable tonal range from their guitar.
