Reply to Too many knobs, too little time
Hi Elaine
It’s hard to say anything for sure from a photo as it’s hard to trace wires around under others. Things are too tight packed here to be sure but I think you’re correct in identifying the pots. One certainly looks like volume and the other certainly looks like tone. It’s safe to assume the one with the PCB attached is distortion or gain.…

Reply to WTB: Jescar EVO fret wire
I don’t think the StewMac gold wire is EVO stuff. They’re a little vague about the alloy but it seems different. I was talking with someone about it recently and looked into it a little.
EVO is an alloy containing copper, tin, iron, and titanium. Stew Mac’s page mentions that their gold wire is primarily a C425 copper alloy which is copper,…
