NF3 SE Volume Pot Replacement

Treble bleed on mine. Fixed everything.

Agreed. I don’t have this issue of hum coming thru when volume is turned down. I too installed a treble bleed immediately. On my typical low gain setup I find the volume knob works fine from 7-10. I have a wider range when I changed to a higher gain/volume settings.

Why these didn’t ship with treble bleeds is beyond me. I didn’t do anything fancy. Just the standard PRS se cap of 180pf on the volume pot. Good enough for me.

The treble bleed fixed mine too. I just received a new NF3 inspected July of 24.
The volume now drops continuously from 10 to 0 without any noticeable
loss of brightness. (It previously went to mud at 8).
150k resistor parallel with .001uf cap
Brown green yellow (15 x 10 to the 4th), "102" cap

Good day sir. I'm new here and joined because I have the same issue with my newly acquired SE NF3. I can get along with soldering but I've never installed a Treble Bleed. Would you mind explaining me where I do need to soldering the resistor and the Capacitor?
Thanks in advance for your time.

First solder the resistor to the cap wires, near the body of the cap. Cut and remove the extra resistor wire. Now you can solder the capacitor wires to the volume pot lugs 2 and 3. You know lug 1 because it will be connected to ground (body of the volume cap). 3 is from 5 way switch and is the main signal.

Thanks man, very kind

I don't see any PRS concerns about this issue.
