Re: what pot in a ESP lynch skulls n snakes?
I had a feeling....
I think I'm gonna replace it with a 250k pot....I should just be able to replace the pot, right?
ErikH said:500k push/pull with a DPDT. There's a 500k resistor from the switch to ground on the upper lugs where the neck single connects (at least there used to be). Open it up and look.

Allparts List. You want part number EP_0285-000 or EP_0283-000. Don't know what the difference between the 2 is but the $9 one would be fine.
Nope, the DPDT is part of it. You'll need to get one with a DPDT switch on it just like what's in the guitar already. Since the pot will be 250k, there won't be a need for the 500k resistor to ground from the neck pickup (if it's even there).shreder75 said:

A DPDT is a double-poll-double-throw switch. It's attached to the pot in this case. They come in toggle and stomp switch format too. Take the control cavity cover off the guitar and you'll see what I mean or go to the Allparts link I posted and look at those two part numbers. The switch is where the pickup hot leads connect to. The switch then connects to the pot. You need the 250k pot with an attached DPDT.

Those will work. You want one of the Push-Push pots though, Part No. PP250. Only diff is it's push-push and not push-pull. Push-push is like a stompbox switch, push-pull you have to pull it up for one position and push it down for the other, like the guitar has now.shreder75 said:

Re: what pot in a ESP lynch skulls n snakes?
actually, since you mentioned the push push pots, I cancelled that order...lol
that was one of my complaints about the lynch...it's a pain in the ass to pull the knob up when going to neck pickup
I'm going to double check to maek sure it's a 500k pot in there now..
warmoth doesn't take online orders and they have a minimum order amount...so I'm not going with them.if I wanted to talk to a person, i would have called in the first place..LMFAO..
but seriously, I found a place that has the push push 250k pots...so once I double check I'll be puttin' an order in..

Re: what pot in a ESP lynch skulls n snakes?
I like the idea of push-push too. SLAP - neck pickup, SLAP - bridge pickup. Much easier.
Zerb: You and ESP is like oil and water. :laugh2:
Cool. If it doesn't say on the pot, put a meter across the 2 outside lugs of the pot, not the switch lugs.shreder75 said:

that one you showed me on allparts.com, the more expensive one, that's push push..that's why it cost more =) I'm pretty sure that's DPDT??
