I was looking at the Comanche Studio VI wiring schematic in the knowledge base section and have a question I hope someone can help with.
Looking at the pos, one has two capacitors, .001 and .022 (the units say "K", but I'm pretty sure they mean "u"), pretty standard values, but the other pot has a component labeled 201k, which I'm pretty sure is a varistor. Could that be right? I've never seen a varistor used in guitar wiring, but I won't put anything past the ingenuity of G&L.
Thank you for any help!
All the best,
Bill

201K should represent 200pf. 20 followed by 1 zero specified in picofarads
