I had a faulty pickup selector switch and wanted to change the pickups, so I chose to swap the complete harness while I was at it.
First surprise when I took out the original harness; mini pots!
Second surprise; PIO caps, the same as seen on LS-150 & 200 of that era.
Third suprise; no direct wiring of the pickups wire on the pot but via an extra lead attached to the pot. Not very classy.
Fourth surprise; I didn't have to enlarge the holes for the pots; the CTS pots did fit exactly!
Tip; when using the standard Switchcraft selctor switch, you need a broad ring for the threaded part of the switch will not pass through the hole in the top.
