Afternoon folks, would anyone be able to tell me the diameter of the hole for the pots in the above kit. Or point me to a link? I have had a search around the forum without much luck.
My kit is still on the way and don't want to order something that will require me doing any additional drilling.
Cheers
Ross.
Hey Ross, I can't remember the pot hole diameter of the standard pots (at a guess about 7-8mm) but it is worth upgrading to better quality pots that will require drilling the holes larger. It is a very easy job, it may end up being about 9/9.5mm diameter so just get a set of drills 1-10mm size in half mm increments.
If you drill slowly from the body top side there is only a small chance of doing damage to the spalted veneer.
Wokks is bang on there Rossco. I upgraded the pots on my Lp1-SS from the stock PBG pots to gotohs (I love Gotohs). just has to re-drill with the drill in reverse from the top slowly to avoid the tear out.
Or use a hand-reamer. Designed to widen holes so there's less risk of anything going wrong.
Cheers guys.
