Hello to all,
As on most +/- budget guitars the potmeters on HB are not the best quality. A question in our group was: what to do?
Of course, spraying a contact spray will help ... some weeks. The best solution is to kick them out and replace them by a decent brand. This you can easily check on Internet and look which supplier on/offline could be your best supplier.
► Another discussion arose: Change from 250K to 500K. It would give better "high's". Any of you an opinion?
We found some vids on Youtube concerning this:
► Please your input/feedback, many thanks!

This Is an excellent tip, I had problems with mine... both 500k pots...stock had linear in volume position and audio in tone position... they use the mini pots and I know as mine is semi hollow, and the pots are near the f holes.. I could only replace them with same size pots. I changed them after they got scratchy months after I bought guitar for Audio bourns pots and a orange sprague cap.. couldn't be happier with the outcome, it's warmed up a slightly harsh pickup and I like the roll off. Recommended upgrade!
