This is great info! This problem comes up more often than people think.
I’ve seen finishes just destroy autographs to the point that I don’t even attempt to take it on.
Will try this though! Thanks!

The Edge strat is a urethane finish right? My only concern now is my guitar is Nitro. I better just do some tests 😉 Thanks again!

Thank you Gerry.
That makes total sense once you break that down. For some reason my gut reaction was its a ground. But, obviously it is not.
For followup, client is having an Auricap .047 cap & Kiwame 180k resistor installed. Apparently its a good upgrade for a more even swipe. 🤷

Hey Mike
Have never seen a TBX quite like this and I don’t remember seeing one of those ‘extra lug’ pots used in a guitar but this does make some sense.
The extra lug on a pot like this is generally a centre tap — a connection right into the middle of the resistive track. So, between the extra lug and lug 1 will read half the total resistance and…

Hey Al-I just had a similar job come into my shop. It’s an oil based pen similar to yours but made by craftsmart. The Signature is John 5 and it’s a Fender custom shop tele finished in nitro lacquer. How did the Mowhawk ultra bond workout for you? I’ve read the oil based pens contain acetone as a solvent so i’m hesitant to use coat of …

Mike Kugler Kugler Guitars started the discussion 7 Lug Tone Pot? in the forum Electric Repair 11 months ago
I have a Fender Jazz Bass Special in. Looking to upgrade some caps and resistor per client.
I found this “TBX”? tone pot inside. I don’t think I’ve encountered one with the additional lug on the back end. Any help as to if this is a TBX or similar and the functions of the pot?
Thanks!
