Tim Plains Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Historic Les Pauls - 500k tone, 500k volume. Non historic - 500k tone, 300k volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LPC Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Most likely 300K linear taper volume, 300K audio taper tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I think you meant 300K linear taper volume, 500K audio taper tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Most likely 300K linear taper volume' date=' 300K audio taper tone.[/quote'] 300K for the tone pot? I have never heard of a stock Gibson with this value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LPC Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I post this just to give a very rough idea of what was going on. http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=150903 Both my Gibsons are contrary to this information, and there were Classics with 300K volume and tones.

bobv Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 The few that I've tested when swapping guts had 300K linear taper volume and 500K audio taper tone. Gibson apparently didn't check with Wikipedia before wiring their guitars and it's common knowledge they ignored the convention when they decided to use linear taper volume pots.

Was only pointing out what is the standard. Have always used Audio for Volume for the simple fact that I(like countless others)prefer a slow' date='gradual roll off. Hasn't been any guitar I know of that doesn't do this. Was only using wiki as a reference,was all. Deep breath,deep breath.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
