This is slightly interesting. If you go to the Gibson archive page you can find specs for some 335s and other Memphis guitars going back to 2015, I think yours is a 2014. Interestingly, most all indicate 500k +/-10-20% pots. But, the '63 and '64 models (not the Robinson model) indicate 550k +/- 5% pots.
You could always call or e-mail Gibson, or you could check the value of your other pots. I doubt you could hear the difference between an actual 500k and a 550k pot. But a 20% tolerance means the 500k pot could be anywhere from 400-600k. The 550k pot with 5% tolerance could be 522-577k.
Thanks for that info! I sent Gibson an email last night but I thought Id try here first.
I just acquired a Rich Robinson ES 335 1963 Reissue (# 89/500) but the neck pickup tone pot is dead. Does anyone know what kind/value pots they put in these things?
Any advice or suggestions to tell the repair guys when I take it in?
