Does Vai Use 250K Pots


I heard this somewhere about some of his guitars. Is this the case?

I remember reading something about this in an interview, roundabout the "Fire Garden" recordings. If I'm not mistaken he used a 250K tone pot on EVO, to take some brightness off when he rolled the Volume knob back.

Re: Does Vai Use 250K Pots


that would make alot of sense if he did use the 250k's over 500k's. i might have to try that with Elvis (my 7VWH). if that doesn't get my tones i will break down and buy an EvoII for the bridge. only hang up would be i don't want the neck Evo and mid pup to be affected by the drop in high end and output from the 250k pot.
funny that i was wondering the same thing after using Elvis this past weekend at a couple shows. i just couldn't get happy with the bridge pup.
