OK so I happened to pick me up a Liberty Copperhead Resonator and I also happen to have a this pup.. so after thinking can you have 2 pups one internal reso and one external with 2 volumes and one out put jack? A blend knob I'm not sure would give me enough OK Blend... you thoughts?

Sorry guys between buying a new dryer, teaching my daughter to ride a bike. installing the dryer, and figuring out why my v olume knob on my new buld doesn't work I'been a bit busy....
Anyway 1 peazo and 1 humbucker
Nice diagram...
I Also agree with the dobro and Mic.. a much warmer tone.... thanks again
What sort of pickups are talking about? Electro magnetic, passive piezo, piezo with a pre-amp? If they are differing types don't necessarily expect to be able to hook them up together and have well-balanced outputs without having to do some tinkering/buffering/pre-amping. I'm no expert on the subject, but I do know that that the widely differing impedance of the various types of pickup can create problems.
On a different tack - Resos are notoriously difficult to amplify using a pickup: the best way to amplify a resonator guitar and a get a decent reso tone is NOT to use a pickup, use a Shure SM57 mic into a decent PA system.
I found this a while back where a diode per volume pot lets you alter the output for each pickup without the pot affecting the other pickups in the circuit. I haven't tried it yet (I got side tracked by low voltage tube preamp circuits) but the link gives a demo of the circuit on a 3 pickup strat and gives info on what diodes to use for single coil and humbuckers (not tried on piezos). Diodes are cheap and it is reversible so might be worth a try with 2 dioded volume pots?
