Members PunkKitty Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 The stock pots in Epi LP's are Alphas - the same thing that GFS sells. Unless there is a problem, don't mess with them. OTOH, if you want to upgrade them, go with CTS. The only issue is that you will have to drill out the hole to 3/8" using a step drill bit.

Members leftyDave Posted February 16, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 ^^^^ Oh Thanks I was looking to upgrade because, I am having a problem. I thought it might be pickup switch but didn't go through the whole metering thing. I'll do a search for buying those electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkKitty Posted February 16, 2010 Members Share Posted February 16, 2010 Do P90's follow that general rule of thumb too?Depends on the manufacturer. If I remember right, Gibson uses 100k volume pots, 300k tone pots and a .022 cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
