Edwards pot size?

[aptorraptor777]

Hello!!
I just bought an Edwards E-LP-98 and I am going to install Jimmy Page Wiring in it
Does this Edwards use long or short shaft pots? Thanks

short shaft works, but the holes are metric.
If you want to use CTS pots:
from RS Guitarworks

All guitars manufactured in Japan, China, Indonesia and Mexico use metric pots (6mm), and have metric sized holes drilled for the pots. All pots sold by RS Guitarworks use standard pots and hole diameters (3/8"). Therefore, holes in the guitar, plates and/or pickguards will need to be enlarged to 3/8" to fit properly. Also, metric knobs will not fit the RS pot shafts

Not to be an a-hole, but Fender's Mexican guitars recently went to using the same switch and pots as the American Standards

I find it easier to just use long shaft pots for everything, you can always adjust how far they should stick out from the top by using an extra set of hex nuts on the shafts, inside the cavity.

...... and if you want to change the toggle switch, which is IMO the most necessary thing (the Edwards is real crappy)
I needed one gig to kill it!!!
you have to use the SHORT switchcraft
