Re: Gibson vol pot vs cts?
You can look up the pot code , several pot manufacturers are listed under the FAQ or Seymour's FAQ on the main site ... the first three digits are the manufacturer (All Parts doen't actually manufacture parts to my knowledge), 440 should be the manufacturer code. They may have expanded it to four, it used to be thre though. The rest is the date it was made, the number of the week and in what year.::::To sound reinforcement engineer::::
... What? ... ::::snicker:::: ...Yes, ... Right, ...
Could we please have everything louder than everything else ? ...

Re: Gibson vol pot vs cts?
What year are the pots? I have a 2003 LP and the guitar sounds great but the pots do very little if anything when rolling off volume or tone. I would say to play it safe order some CTS pots. I find that the 300k volume audio taper pots work well in newer Gibsons. I find the 500ks too bright. You will still be heard with fine clarity even with the 300ks for the bridge.
You could also look into the RS kits. He has a treble tamer kit as well as a premium electronics upgrade kit.
