I just switched the pickguards (pups and all) between 2 strats I have and found a new issue with one of them. The Volume pot. only seems to cut the signal by about 30% swiftly and then no more reduction. On "0" there is still good signal coming thru. The tone doesn't seem otherwise affected (freq response etc.). The previous guitar had a Stratoblaster installed; perhaps I failed to wire it correctly in the switch to vintage Strat set-up of new guitar. Ive yet to pop it back open and check wiring bc I thought it was simple.
I guess I could have damaged the pot. too, soldering the grounds to its back, but I did it quickly and without much trouble so I kinda doubt it. Anyone make a dumb mistake I am missing and wind up with this issue before?
I am about to replace the stock Burstbucker Pro (Al V) pups on a new ES-335 with SD Seth Lovers. Never done a 335 and the ng is tricky to access. Figure I will remove pots and assemble on a cardboard cut-out as Ive seen done by others. Going to vintage 50's wiring too from what I assume is stock Gibson 2015 Modern wiring.
