Les Paul Volume control problem

Hello,

 

When I turn the volume controls back to 8 - 9 i get buzzing / interference noise. At full volume everything is normal.

If I touch any earthed parts the noise lessens.

 

My guitar is a les paul custom and is 36 years old. Is it time to refurbish the Pots.

 

I've checked all the earth wiring and all connections.

 

Cheers,

 

Gordon.;)

With the age of the guitar' date=' it would be an idea to spray a small amount of contact cleaner inside the pots and rotate them several times. [/quote']

 

Hello 80LPC,,

 

Tried the spray and it's still the same. Think it's time for a complete pot and switch renewal.

 

Thanks for replying

 

Cheers,

 

Gordon.

](*' date=') This same problem showed up in the speed knob on my Kramer GP. [i']Cleaning and checking for broken parts does the trick. [/i] Stewmac.com has the spray you need.

 

Hello James,

 

I've tried switch cleaner and physically checked all the wiring, (tugging and tapping), but to no avail. Next step is a switch and pot renewal.

 

Thanks for responding so promptly.

 

Cheers,

 

Gordon
