briklot Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi everyone! First of all apologies if the section is wrong, wasn't sure where to post. I have this weird problem with my Gibson LP standard 2017. Apparently the neck volume has some weird issue. When I turn the knob down to 9/9,5, it starts buzzing and the volume itself drops dramatically. As I keep turning down, this stops from happening (please see the video below, it is clearer). Did anyone experience something similar before? Any ideas of what the problem could be and how to solve it? I’m literally crapping myself, as if there’s a problem with the push-pull board, it’s £300 flying away.... Here’s a video: https://streamable.com/v0iyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 As the resident expert on burning pots while putting in new pickups, you need a pot*. Not a huge deal, but unfortunate. If you can solder you can fix it. rct *Full disclosure: I know nothing of these new fangled high fallutin boards and circuit thingys in guitars. Someone who has broken at least one of them will have to get in here about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the cover once and closed it right up. I have no clue how to work on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
