install cts pots on a prs se

[marco1004]

to install cts pots on a prs se i have to enlarge the hole of pots?

Yes, you'll have to "ream" the holes for the pot shaft to fit. I did this on my Bernie Marsden with a circular file with very fine teeth. You can also place a piece of tape over the hole, punch the file through, and it'll help stop edge fraying in the clearcoat. I took it slow and it was really easy to be honest. Came out just fine.

I have done it as well, with just some tape to prevent paint chipping and then using a 3/8" drill.
