[QUOTE="kc2eeb, post: 129619, member: 811"] Graham, I was responding during my lunch break and couldn't complete my response. Humbuckers or single coils? The tone pot can be wired with the the cap to the wiper of the pot and the LH terminal (viewed from the back) grounded OR the cap to the LH terminal and the wiper to ground. That may sound different. If you have a multimeter (an analogue meter is best for this testing) switch it to measure resistance, disconnect all connections to the (tone) pot and, first, measure across the two outside terminals to see the true pot resistance then measure between the LH terminal and the center (wiper) as you rotate the pot shaft. A good audio (log) taper should have a small increase initially and then greater as you rotate the shaft. [/QUOTE]
