BlaZ1n Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well not to bad. Not even sure if I did it. The volume pot for the neck pick doesn't stop anymore. I just pulled it out of the case today and thats how it is. It just spins and spins. And it sounds like HELL when you trurn it up or down. So what do I do? Replace that pot or all four with a matched set? If all four should I change the caps? If so whats good? Also whats the metal plate under the top? Can it go? Last question. Should I do the work myself or have it done? thanks Also looking at a rewire. I am looking for kind of a slash sound. I am not sure how much of that sound is the duncans and amps/effects. But if anyone know what kind of rewire is best. Vintage/modern and what caps for that sound. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango martin Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 id just replace the pot, maybe swapthe wires from the bridge pot with the neck to see if its the pot an not something else thats faulty like loose earth or something daft, although if ya aint handy with a soldering iron or are a bit unsure about what anything is then id take it to someone else, gibsons are a bit too expensive to be pokin aroung inside if ya aint sure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Before you switch out the pot make sure its not just the plastic top thats stripped and spinning around the pot shaft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
