Hello All,
This is my first post on this forum. I recently purchased a 56 fender and none of the electronics are original. What type of pots did the 50's fenders come with originally (audio or log)? I am sure that the tone pots were lin and volume was an audio (but I could be wrong)????

I did a couple of searches for this question and could not find an answer, so I apologize if this is a repeat question. I would appreciate any help.

I have looked at the provide website several times and they do not list very much pot info. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I've never done much looking around Fender...but there is a forum link on this page
http://www.jedistar.com/jedistar_vintag ... ng_d_g.htm

This seller has some photos of "new" old parts - perhaps it is worth asking them..

I think your best bet though will be a Fender forum....let us know if you find anything and I'll add it to my links.
