Title: Would you guys be able to pot/cover one of my existing p-ups
Post by: Minty on December 29, 2005, 07:50:36 PM

Hey BK

Hope y'all had a nice x-mas!

I was just wondering if you guys would be able to put a cover on my Gibson LP open-coil 'buckers and then pot them, because they are making an awful squealing noise! But to be fair, they are 16 years old! :lol:

And if so, how much would this set me back?

Cheers guys!

Why not go for a rewind as well?

How would that change the tone of the p-ups?

I quite like the tone as they are!

From what I've heard they'll become more clear and will get a wider range. A rewind will breathe more life into them. They'll retain the original tone but you'll get the benefits of scatterwinding.
