I really appreciate the help man. Going to begin the surgery tomorrow morning. Will post back. Thanks again!

So for better or worse, I've got my HBII Archtop apart. I cannot get both circuit boards out - only the large one with the jacks mounted on it. My questions is: where would I install the treble bleed pot? Usually I believe it goes on the volume control but in this case the volume control is...

So Red and White to respective middle lugs of Switch #1? (as it is in my diagram) Check (as it is in my diagram) I'm not following this... so green or black to the bottom lugs of switch #2? Aren't these connected to the pickups? Will have to understand what's going on above..

I hate dealing with wiring on a hollowbody guitar (any of them) but I'm curious to see what the spec of the volume pot is and wonder if replacing it with a higher value would solve the problem - although, from what it sounds like, this is a common issue with this guitar and those pickups. I was...

Thanks! That's helpful to know... I assumed that there was no treble bleed cap and was hoping to avoid altering the inherent tone too much. Did the 400k pot impact the treble rolloff in your experience?

Hi All, This is my first post about my first PRS. I came into a 2005 PRS Hollowbody Spruce with the Archtop pickups and absolutely love the guitar except for one annoyance. The treble rolloff on the volume pot when the volume is turned down, even slightly, is waaaayyyy too much. Instantly...
