Hi there, I have an american standard 2008 strat with SSS pickup configuration. The tone and volume pots are stuck now so I'm planning to replace it. But the thing is, I don't what to change any of the original electronic configuration. I'm so contented with it's tone right now. Can anyone help me with the exact specs of the potentiometers? Thanks in advance

Standard 250K pots. Fender sells these in a three-pack for around $14.00 or so. Check E-bay, you'll find many there.

Stuck? Did you spill glue on the pick guard? :lol:

Are you sure that the knobs aren't just pushed down too tightly against the pick guard?

Stuck !!! Use contact cleaner WITH LUBRICANT . Spray around shaft , this must work if you use quality stuff.

Or a small drop of WD40 around the shaft ; a drop not a spray
