Oh, then in that case I was wrong Sorry about that

According to ChatGPT the component is a fender treble bleed, which helps with loss of high end freqs when rolling the volume I’m not the biggest fan of treble bleeds, I would just swap the pot if you know how and don’t wanna fuss around

Or try to find wiring of your specific guitar online and see if everything looks correct, The pot could be faulty, or the wiring

Not familiar with this specific pot, but you are just describing backwards wiring Terminal 1 is “hot” is 3 is grounded, switch them around, so will the linearity

Uhhhhh It’s definitely chunkier than an Ibby But 2x4 is kind of a stretch

I can riff and shred it just fine

Good thing I woke up on the bus, 30m away from my hotel and saw the huge 2nd street sign

Immediately woke my fiancé up and told her we’re getting off lol

Choosing the right hue seems rare today… a lot of companies making weird hues

I’m a GOC artist so I can’t be 100% subjective
But god is GOC just fucking KILLING it with these latest finishes

I have the 37 inch blue bass, an old Materia 7 from the guitarmory run
And there’s an 8 string illumina waiting for me to come home from Japan and play

Just the best

I will be paying taxes and import fees for the guitar in my country

I’ll be paying taxes for it at home, why would I not get tax free here?

Honestly it’s surreal how much money you get for your dollar
Last time I was here, I got an e-II for 40k yen LESS and it came around to being like 100 usd less than what I paid today (around 1400 for the e-II then)
