Hi folks,
I have just picked up an Aristocrat from ebay here in the UK. Very impressed for the price £550 as new condition. I was looking for a cheaper equivalent of the Ibanez George Benson.
Spent most of last night setting it up and with a small truss rod adjustment, much bridge fiddling and new strings it's playing well this morning. Looks so good without the pick guard in sunburst.
However, the guitar plugged in is behaving a little oddly. The tone control works as you would expect for tone but it also has a massive volume effect as well! If I dial in a mellow jazz tone volume falls through the floor and I need to make a volume up adjustment to compensate. Ditto in the other direction except volume down to correct. Never come across such a big change like this before. I like the sound of the PUs. Very defined, articulate, bright but definitely not harsh.
Any thoughts.
