  • Low Volume

    Hi, My brother has a Tele clone guitar and recently exchanged bridge pup with a SD tele single coil pup . The original neck pup was left in place. (Its brand unknown...some generic type?)

    He has a problem with the volume level. He tells me that compared to other guitars, he has to crank the volume pot up a bit on his axe, whereby others can plug in to his amp with volume turned down much lower on their guitars and will be twice as loud.

    My brother tells me that the pickup is at the same height as the one he replaced but also told me that the volume pot sounds scratchy. Would the lack of volume perhaps be caused by pot or could it be maybe a grounding/wiring problem?

    Your suggestions on what to check with VOM would be appreciated.
