Welcome aboard!

The only Duncans, that I know of, that come with pots are the Live Wires. They're active pups, which are probably what the EMGs were that came with them. The passive Duncans all come with enough leads to make your connections, but the pots and switches are up to you. You can use what you've got, or we can help you find some upgrades or replacements.
