And 50’s wiring ?I just disconnected the tone pots and it sounds way better. They measured 115k and 121k! No wonder it was so bad. I measured only the bridge volume and it was 309k. So I'll throw a new set of 500k pots on it first and see how it sounds.
Lol great line.That's a good hypothesis, I'm going with that. This has all the indications of being a singer's guitar.

For me I like the fact that it helps retain the highs when rolling off the volume. The tone is slightly different than modern wiring also. You’re only swapping one wire so its easy to go back and forth to see which you prefer. That and Super Pots on the volume make all the differenceI am embarassed to admit I know nothing about 50's wiring. What difference does it make? clarity?
I do like 50s wiring for that very reason. What are Super pots? It's too late because I just ordered 4 Bourns low friction long shaft pots but still like to hear your take on them.For me I like the fact that it helps retain the highs when rolling off the volume.

Super Pots, also known as Vintage Taper depending on who’s selling them, have an even taper from 0 to 10I do like 50s wiring for that very reason. What are Super pots? It's too late because I just ordered 4 Bourns low friction long shaft pots but still like to hear your take on them.
I have some short shaft Vintage Inspired pots but they aren't as fast as I like. I'm really more into the speed and feel. That's why I went with these low friction pots. They are in my sunburst LP and feel great. I guess I just want ON/OFF and then "just below ON" and "just above OFF" and I'm good.Super Pots, also known as Vintage Taper depending on who’s selling them, have an even taper from 0 to 10
Can you post a link? I’m interested in long shaft low friction onesI have some short shaft Vintage Inspired pots but they aren't as fast as I like. I'm really more into the speed and feel.

I’m down to a single LP now and am good with that. I’m done with owning 10 of the same guitar
I usually try to stay away from AWS but 4 of them for $20 delivered by tomorrow and I caved. Just search Bourns Low Friction long shaft pots. I think the first time I bought them I got them from a dude on ebay. Just ONE of those Vintage Inspired pots is $20. And I'm usually a "it only hurts once" kind of consumer, I'll pay up for something if I really want it.Can you post a link? I’m interested in long shaft low friction ones
