Gibson Pot & Cap Upgrade Kit In the 1970s during a particularly dark period in its history Gibson introduced Superhumbuckers made with ceramic magnets to cut costs. To tame the inherent harshness of ceramic magnets Gibson altered the values of its pots from the tradtional 500k Audio taper to 300k audio taper. When Superhumbuckers proved unpopular traditional humbuckers were reintroduced. The Heritage reissues of 1980 heralded the return of the traditional humbucker with a nod to the classic PAF design of the 1950s. Unfortunately, Gibson continued with the 300k pots for some unknown reason (large stocks to get rid of?). Guitars of that era often have a very dark sound with a tendency towards flabbiness on the neck pickup in particular. Dramatically alter the sound of your guitar and let its pickups breathe by upgrading the pots to 500k using our kit made up from CTS pots as used by Gibson in the 50s. Includes a pair of 0.022 mf capacitors for maximum authenticity. Our Price (each): £26.51 (Including VAT at 20%) Quantity:
