Post by George Shute »

Has anyone changed out the 1Megohm linear taper tone pot on a Fender Deluxe 8 ? and if so where did you find a replacement pot?

Thanks George.

I like the Stewmac's site

I change the pots of my Stringmaster for CTS 250k and now I can do nice Doo-wha effect like old western swing player

I have never try to change the blend pot but it looks like you have to pull out the head (wheel)
