Hi!
Last year I installed the a set of P-Rails and Triple Shots in my 2008 Les Paul Studio. Everything perfect there.
Now I'm installing a set on a 2009 LP Studio Faded Mahogany (the $799 version of the LP Studio). The difference with this guitar is that the pots are mounted on a circuit board and the factory pickups are quick-connects (not soldered).
Visually I can follow the path in the circuit board from the quick-connect to the volume pot so I soldered the Triple Shots' white (hot) directly to the first pin of the volume pots (which thankfully are exposed). I then soldered the black and ground wires together to the back of the volume pots as I had with my older LP Studio.
The Triple Shots seem to switch between the P90s and the Rails and both just fine but I can not take the volume pot past 8 or it will cut out the sound completely (both neck and bridge). Plus I can hear a hum (even in humbucker mode).
The factory Burstbuckers only have two wires a hot (in that case black) and a green; unlike the Triple shot that has a white (hot), black and a ground. The green on the quick-connect does follow a path to a pin on the tone pot. I also tried soldering the black/ground to the tone pot pin but same result.
Any one else experienced this issue? Any known fixes?
Thank you, Luis.
