Default Adding a tone control?

Hi, guys, I mentioned a while back getting a good deal on a Washburn N2. Played with my old band at a 4th of July gig this weekend and had a great time, but really noticed a lack of dimension with just having a volume control and no tone control, so I'm planning on installing one. Currently it has two humbuckers, the three-position switch, the volume switch, and that's it. Anyone have a schematic for adding a tone pot, or suggestions on where to go for same, or suggestions, period? Thanks in advance.

You might want to check the value of the existing volume pot. Sometimes they used a 1meg. pot to get the most output but this also lets pass through a lot of treble. I would get a good matched set of 500K pots and a good .022uf Sprague orange drop or Mallory tone capacitor.
