Korean Aria (335 type ) vs 50' wiring?

I changed wiring from i don't know what to call it to 50's in my 90's Aria pro (335 Type ). Korean wiring was strange , i can't remember how it was wired but
one thing i don't like in 50's wiring now , may be something wrong? tone pot with 47ms capacitor (i haven't changed cap.) has become noticeably less functional.
i only start hearing tone closing from 5 to 0 when i roll it off. from 10 to 5 nothing changes . with Korean wiring before tone pot was so sensitive that slight roll off would give you result . i don't want to make this threat cap suggestion thread. its about wiring . i had same undesirable effect when i stupidly changed pots and wiring in my 62 Martin Archtop it had very strange wiring to but sounded good that way.


anybody knows how to get old tone functionality back ? wiring diagram? suggestions please?

Thats just how the old wiring worked. The volumes don't roll off tone BUT the tone controls change taper, a bit. I'd try a different cap value.

Maybe pot taper? Tones are supposed to be linear, I think, but I might be way off.

Got detailed pics of your wiring? Something sounds wrong. If the tone pot worked before, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same now unless it is wired incorrectly or if you torched your pot.

Yeah...I've torched several pots. It's especially easy on the crappy dime-sized import pots because they don't transfer heat very well.
