I was comparing my Les paul to my Sg pickups and volume pots and i was surprised when the SG had significant volume even on 2. The LP needed to be on about 5 to match level. is this to do with the pots values, or the pickup values, or other?

Thanks

The Sg is about a 2007 or 8, the Lp is a Trad pro 2012.
I know they have different pickups, the trad having a 57 N and BB3 in B. but the PU value on the Neck is similar, yet the volumes at the lower knob settings are very different.
The LP needs to be on about 5 to match the SG on 2. The PU heights are matched.

Thanks
