ohyeah, it's already replaced. I was just curious what causes it? It's a stock Ibanez pot from an RGA121...i figured they would be atleast decent.
I've been playing guitar for 15 years and never not once has this happened to me before.
I have had a few Ibanez stock pots take a crap on me. I think there was a run of bad pots with Ibanez a couple years back, and it may have been Rich Harris telling me he had to replace several.
If I change pups in a guitar, I usually swap out the pots/switch as well. When I go to sell it, I drop the stockers back in.
