Fixr1984 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've got 2 Les Pauls. Both are 1985 Studio Customs. Both have Tim Shaw pickups. The only difference between them is one is one has a vintage sunburst and ebony fretboard and the other is black with rosewood. The Burst one always sounded a little off to me. I checked the pots and noticed that the tone pot was a 100k and not the 500k i thought should be there. I changed out the pot and immediatly noticed that the guitar was way brighter. (it needed to be). Lately I've been playing my black one more. Its always been muddier than the burst. Just checked the tone pots and they are 100k also. Am I missing something? Shouldn't they be 500k's? Did they put lower value pots on Tim Shaws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I don't know anything about Tim Shaw(s), but I have never heard of a good reason why a humbucker tone pot might want to be as low as 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
