motorhead1 Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Morning shipmates Recently bought a lovely Heritage H170 in tobaccoburst (secondhand) what a a brilliant guitar !! My reason for mailing is to check on the volume and tone control layout. I'm not sure whether the wiring has been changed, but having trouble locating which is the Tone control out of the three pots.. I know that might sound daft but all three seem to interact together rather than there being a dedicated tone control. So before i take the back of it, i wondered if someone could confirm whether the pot nearest the guitar lead input is the tone control or the one nearest the bridge or ? Appreciate any advice from you experts Dave
Dick Seacup Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Brent would be the best person to ask about this, as I think he's owned most of the H-170s ever produced (I keed! I keed!).

Hmmm... two volume controls for the neck pickup and no volume control for the bridge?
