Now it sounds really damn good, but with one problem, I only have to turn the volume knob slightly to completely turn down the volume. Both pickups have their own separate volume pots but this happens for both. Since I usually play with the volume at full it isnt much of a problem.

Would it have anything to do with the ground wire? as I read online that to turn volume down you direct the current flow to the ground wire?

You can try with new pots tho. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

What kind of pickups do you use? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.
