All good advice above..

Bonjour.

My "mum" is long gone but thanks and i am a bit surprised at some of these replies because i was under the impression upgrading pre 2018 historics to better(more accurate) plastics was a very common thing?? Maybe that was just a fad??

They're on their way from Philadelphia luthier? That was one of the first things I did

OK Don't force them on. Make sure they are the right spline count for the pots.
You know how to pull the originals off?

I’d rather it sound as best

Yes thanks for the info,? I ordered the 20 spline(10 on each side) I use this for removing controls knobs https://www.zzounds.com/item--ALPPG...LxwdUGx0yePJYkDO9cXvrXUTgCofzJjhoCvhQQAvD_BwE

Careful not to dent the top finish with that. If you have trouble with it, just use the tried and true method of a small towel or a rag underneath the knob and pull up.

Thanks! ? i did not know Gibson's nitro was that soft i will just use the towel method. that is how i used to do it before i got the puller on sale.

I hate the way Gibson hammers the knobs on instead of lining them up with the splines and just pressing them down.

This is very good info.
If able to choose between the two pots, I'd go for the coarse version. looks like they can withstand more stress from a hectic performer over time.

That won’t make a difference or determine how durable a pot is.
