Echotone Pot Value's?

[sjturbo]

From all the recent inputs I will be going with the Seth Lover's. Since the guitar is a 335 clone maple body, maple neck and a 25.5 scale I thought I would replace the pots and wiring and I could use some help with pot brand and value.

500k+ all the way and CTS
If you are not experienced in laying out the wiring you should look into prewired. The layout of a 335 is more complicated than a SG or LP.

This links gives you a hint:

For all my guitars (335's included) I use 500K's on my neck HB's and P-90's, and almost always two 250K's for the bridge, as I don't like to have to dial in my tone pots everytime I play. If you're a 'dialer' use 500K's all around.

there are plenty of us who like 500k all around and cts is the brand i use but bourne makes quality stuff too. most people prefer audio taper but i actually like linear taper better.
