harmonicchaos Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 No this post is not about the drug. I was wondering how to go about finding what kind of pots are in my guitar. I checked the Gibson product website and dealers for the specs but can't seem to find 'em. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swmcv2007 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Guitar slinger, you check the color and smell first, that way you can see all the hairs and so you don't get any stuck up your nose (been there done that, waste of money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm something tells the "pots" you two would be helping me with would have anything to do with guitars... That'd be awesome though... we would have a LOT of jam sessions. Yeah, you really aren't... there's only 5 years difference or so between us. I think ALL of us have much to learn, even the seasoned members such as Murph, Homz, KSG, Thunder etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
