I have a question regarding the pot values of my '18 Traditional. Not sure if they are 500K
throughout, but the neck volume pot is not very useful to me. It needs to be almost on 10
to sound natural. Once it goes below say, 9.5, the highs start receding quite a bit. The bridge pot
seems OK, in that I can roll back to 8.5 or so and still retain highs that I look for.
Should I forget about 50's wiring and treble bleeds or cap changes and just order a new neck pot
from Gibson. If I do; what's to prevent another dodgy pot being sent my way?
