I have a Deluxe Players Strat stock with SCN pups. I'm not sure if it's because of these pick-ups or it's my guitar's volume pot, but there isn't much of a tapered adjustment in volume. For instance: Say I want to roll down the volume just a little to clean up the tone like I do with all my other guitars... well with this one it goes from sounding good at full volume to sounding like I just shoved a stack of pillows in front of my amp when I turn it down enough to make a difference.
When I first noticed this I assumed it was the volume pot. I took it to a tech who said the volume pot was fine it was just the nature of the noiseless pups. I took his word for it, but something keeps telling me that can't be right since it seems most current new Strats come stock with these on them now.
Please advise. Thanks.

Have your tech add a treble bleed circuit.

Thank you CAFeathers. After researching that upon your advice, I believe it might be what I need.
On another note... I know this is off topic so I apologize in advance. I see that you are an authorized WD Music dealer... Maybe you know... what is the best nut to go along with a Wilkinson bridge on a Strat? I'm upgrading / customizing an old MIM strat (basically replacing everything except the body). Thanks.
