CTS pots and Import/Alpha Pots
so i found a few cool offer for new A500K CTS pots in ebay for 2.00usd each, so i got a couple since my usarg's old CTS pots for the volume had seen better days..
pots arrived and they look really well made than our normal alpha/import pots..i got the usarg completed and its like new again..so i figured why not change the j.customs pots as well..i would thought that the j.custom would be routed to take CTS pots..but alas..it only takes ALpha/Import pots and to fit a CTS pot..would mean widening the whole..fine if it was a pickguard..but im not taking any chances in doing that..
Tone-wise i dont hear any thing different between CTS to Alpha..and i would still continue to use alpha pots if the guitar doesnt have a CTS pot routing..(cts being wider in a few mm than alpha pots)..if there was it would be subtle and wouldnt even be noticed..
Feel-Wise if you didnt know it was CTS or Alpha you wouldnt know..
so it doesnt matter really..IMO
i've been addicted to the chrome look these days..
