LTD ec256 pots and caps specs
LTD ec256 pots and caps specs
Hi there
I've recently bought a LTD ec256, vintage gold, for a great price. I like it a lot, and it plays really well.
I'd like to change the pickups and have finally made up my mind for a pair of Dimarzio's 36th Anniversary PAF.
It's my first pickup swap so I've got a couple of questions:
- Is it worth changing the pots and caps in the 256? I've read that the recommended values for Les Paul style guitars are 500k pots and 0.022 caps, but I don't know the actual value of the original pots and caps. I also know there are log and short pots, which one would fit this guitar?
- is there anything I should know or pay attention to when replacing pickups?
Thanks for your help

I don't know, you probably have 500k pots, so I don't think that should be a problem. Changing pickups is easy if you know what you're doing, just pay attention to the wiring and don't rush it.
