So my bud's LP Studio that got the neck refinish, it's got no tone controls because he didn't want them. So the pots and caps were simply removed. I contend they should have left the caps in and put a fixed resistor in there.
What say ye?
If he likes the sound, there is no reason for him to put a fixed resistor and cap in. When the tone is all the way up, the pot and cap are virtually out of the circuit, anyway.So my bud's LP Studio that got the neck refinish, it's got no tone controls because he didn't want them.

Is it too bright now?
There is only one way to get tone from a knob . . .
THE CHICKEN!
Whenever possible I use no-load pots...
With no-load pots, dialing them to 10 is the same as removing them.OK, so a guy comes in to your shop with a LP Studio and says, "I never use the tone controls, please remove them." How would Light respond? Would you point out that simply removing them is not the same as dialing them to 10?

I say I agree with you sir.apl said:So my bud's LP Studio that got the neck refinish, it's got no tone controls because he didn't want them. So the pots and caps were simply removed. I contend they should have left the caps in and put a fixed resistor in there.

That would be a valid answer if the stock tone pots on LP Studio guitars were no-load pots. I don't believe that's the case.
So, short of buying no-load pots, would you just dial the existing pots to 10 and tuck them away? Or are you saying that no-load pots are the only acceptable solution? Just trying to understand your answer.
OH HaHaHa Thats awesome
i wonder if you can get them already painted up that way
that knob is soo cool!
I'll do up a batch if there is interest . . . this is model enamel paint sprayed with a few coats of clearcoat. I'm not the best painter in the world though. Actually, I think I'm in the bottom quartile
You did that? Another impressive product from Naiant!
