Meegs666 Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 ok i have this bently fat strat copy that i set up to play metal. everything about it is death metal...except the pickups. if i wanted to replace the existing pickup with a dimarzio x2n would it require me to put in a new volume pot...i dunno because im guessing that its a 250 instead of a 500. i would just want to replace the humbucker and keep the singles in. i can do all the work easily its just the whole pot thing is iffy to me as i have never done any thing to this guitar's electronics. thanks in advance.

unclej Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 if all you're doing is replacing a humbucker with another humbucker then you don't need to worry about the pots. just remove the existing wires one at a time, solder the new one's to the same place, mount the new pickup on the pickguard and shred away. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suregork Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 just to add, different pot values give different sounds. If I remember correctly higher value --> Brighter sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
