It always perplexes me as to why lots of cheaper import guitars have what I think is linear taper pots which make for a very crappy gradual shift in volume (they’re equally worthless in the typical guitar tone circuit IMO.). Even the MIC Gretsch I bought has that dreaded linear taper where no change happens until the start of the sweep with little change past 4-5. Still a fine guitar and sounds great cranked and this is just a $25 fix for me it’s just the pot taper is just weird. I often wonder if this is why many people don’t use the volume or tone controls because of the lack of real variation in volume/tone until the very start of the sweep with 4-10 having little variation in perceived volume.
