Oh well, only 2 months ago I was contemplating letting my No Bird go to a new owner, as I had not been playing it at all for some years, made a post about it here, took the guitar out of its case and started playing it again, took some time to adjust to it, it has high action which I dislike, adjusted the truss, strung her up with fresh strings and that was all it took for me to circle back and I decided to keep it. 6 weeks onwards, it now is my favorite guitar.
So, there's one issue that I want to sort out, the tone pots don't do much, both have basically 2 setting, set to 0 you get the slightest tone rolloff, barely audible, and set to 10 I'm getting a bit of extra sparkly treble, barely audible. In fact, I don't hear it when playing clean, you can hear a very subtle (barely) difference in tone on an overdriven amp only.
I remember taking a look under the pickguard when I first got the guitar 7 years ago, wiring, pots, caps all looking looked fairly clean and solder joints were untouched. And back then the tone pôts were already having the same behavior. Not really doing much, just the subtlest tone change, barely making a difference. Does not seem normal.
Anyway, I wanted to have a look at it again, any pointers what I could do to troubleshoot this issue ? Thanks already for your help.
