No I mean...synthetic wood. There are different kinds. For instance I work on a contruction site and they made a bunch of stuff out of "plastic wood" as they called it. I am told it is ebonite.

Has anyone made a guitar out of any kind of fake wood? How did it turn out? I was considering making one but I can't find anything on it.

It's a Seymour Duncan Livewire Metal Humbucker. It's active and they are both 100k pots. On the diagram the volume and tone pots look different so suddenly I was confused as to whether or not they were both tone or both volume or what the hell was happening. Anyway I have decided to just return the pickup because I didn't realize it was an active pickup when I ordered it then I tried to cancel the order but Musician's Friend told me it was already shipped out so I culdn't cancel...even though it was a Sunday and I had ordered that morning. I probably should have just sent it back without opening it but I figured what the hell. Of course the damn box lies when it says no guitar mod. necessary. So far, the new stereo input jack is too big for the hole and the pots are too big for their holes and the pickup itself doesn't fit too well. The pickup is straight edged and the holes have rounded edges. But enough complaining about that. Thanks for your responses and damn I didn't even notice till just now that on the diagram the wires only go to the volume pots. So many damn lines all over the place it's annoying to look at. They should be color diagrams. I'm gonna guess that on this particular site you strongly suggest making your own pickups instead of spending money on overpriced annoyances?

Hi I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before so if it has, please direct me to the post. I am wondering..is there a difference between a tone pot and volume pot or are they the same and the only difference is how each is used, meaning how the pickups are wired to them? I recently bought an active pickup and 2 pots came with it but I am not sure if they're two tone pots (why I would need two for one pickup, I couldn't posisbly know) or one is meant for tone and the other is meant for volume. Thank you
