I've owned a Newark St. Starfire IV for over a year now & absolutely love everything about it. The tone, playability, quality, looks, you name it. The one thing I can't find anywhere is the type of pots (CTS etc) and what type of wiring the volume/tone circuit is. First, I think both the volume and tone pots work really well together. I can blend pickups easily enough, do volume swells, the tone controls are really responsive. I understand they are audio 500K pots with .022 caps. But it confuses me is whether it is 50's style wiring. I have a couple of 50's wiring in other guitars and I can tell off the bat. However on the Starfire it seems like tone pots act somewhere in between 50's wiring & modern although it's got to be one or the other. Also, the toggle switch looks like a Switchcraft as the quality is high on that as well.
If anybody has any answers, I'd appreciate it. Curiosity is getting the best of me & there is nothing on the internet on the Newark St line. I know I can pull the pots, but being a hollowbody I don't want to mess with them just to get this info.
Thanks in advance!
