Mr Metal Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hello, My friend drop off an old piece of junk black electric guitar last week as a joke but I immediately stripped it, cleaned it, painted it (where needed) waxed it 3 times, cleaned the surface rust off the chrome bridge and installed new tunning pegs. Needless to say it actually looks pretty good now. Anyways...my question is this. It had a single humbucker at the bridge which I removed and I am installing a new humbucker (a really hot one) a Kent Armstrong "Ultra Distortion". So, can I just drop in the new humbucker and it will work, or do I need to upgrade the tone and volume pods in the guitar as well? Are all Volume and Tone pods created equal? I know size wise it will fit. I'm just trying to avoid any disapointments. Thanks, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 guitar *pots, they should work fine with any pickups, just check the value on the bottom, if it says 500k somewhere on the bottom of the volume you'll be fine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
