Re: Question re Pots

B-Squared, I'm in NJ. I have a bunch of questions. What is the "disk cap?" What does it do? And how can you tell by looking that it's "gotta go?" As to the flux, would the luthier have necessarily looked into the cavity to change the pickups? (Again, bear with me cause i have no clue). I mean, is it possible that he just missed it. Nah, forget that because he changed the jack too. What's the difference between a "cap" and a "pot" or are the words used interchangeably? Is it just the fact that he ignored the flux that makes it look like a shoddy job or are there other things that strike you. How can i clean off the flux? Just scrap it off? Lastly, and most imporantly, what am I looking for in terms of a package. Can you recommend one that is appropriate for this guitar ('78 LP Custom w/ Skatterbranes) or is there just one replacement package? Thanks.
