Hello All.

I'm new to the forum and I've really enjoyed reading many of your posts.

I have a '98 Fender "Big Apple" Strat that I purchased in 2007. It's a great versatile guitar and I love the sounds and playability.

Ever since I've owned the guitar the lower tone knob for the bridge pickup hasn't had the same nice rolling feel as the other tone and volume. It almost feels 'looser' or easier to spin if that makes any sense.

I realize this is kind of a nitpicky issue but I'm curious as to if anyone has any ideas. My only thoughts are that either the pot has been replaced or it could be dirty.

The knob functions correctly, I was simply referring to the feel of it.

You cant really adjust the way it turns, some pots are looser than others. If it really is a bother while playing, it can easily be replaced.
