ASAT Special tone pot question

Post by themikeaustin »

I have 2 mid-90s ASAT Specials - one's a deluxe. I've noticed that the tone pots on both of them are *very* subtle. They don't provide nearly the level of treble cut that most tone controls do.

I've checked the wiring and everything is connected. As I bought both guitars used, I don't know if they've been modded, so I'm wondering if this is normal for these guitars.

TIA,
Mike

Wow, 68 views! Are all the ASAT Special owners on vacation? My guitar tech cleaned the pot and it's much better now.
