H140 pot length

[ESchmidt]

Hello all!

I just purchased an old 1985 H140 and I’m redoing all the electronics in it (they are non original as it sits). Do I need to order short shaft or long shaft pots for this guitar? Thanks!

PS I’ll post pics and a proper NGD thread once they guitar is all put together

Short shaft pots should work. However make sure that the shaft is long enough to fit through the top. Some short shaft pots are designed to be used with pickguards. You need bushings that are at least 3/8" long. These will work.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Can’t wait to get it all fixed up.
