Hope someone can help me out here. Just bought a second hand Chris Robertson signature model that had a Pearly Gate pickup installed in the bridge by the previous owner. The issue I'm having is that the volume and tone knobs are loose. I thought at first that the nuts weren't tightened enough and took the knobs off to tighten them, but came to find that the actual posts themselves are rattling around. They work fine and all, but I was wanting to replace them as it's irritating. My question is since the neck has a P90 does that mean the volume pot for it would be 250k and the bridge humbucker is a 500k coil tap pot? Pardon such an elementary question, but I just wanted to make sure I was going to order the right thing. I don't have much experience with P90s but I assume they'd have 250k like a single coil

First off congrats on a great purchase. The Chris Roberton is excellent guitar and IMHO ranks along side the Bernie Marsden as two of finest SE's PRS have produced, I'm lucky to have both.

To answer your question the pots are A500k pots with the bridge tone being a mini A500k push/pull. Hope this helps.
May you play yours fors for many years in good be careful though 1 PRS is never enough.

For the record, these are full sized or minis?

The 2 volumes and the neck tone are full sized alphas, the bridge is a mini push/pull.

I'm considering swapping the push/pull with a push/push. I have these fitted too a couple of my guitars (easier to use in the heat ot battle).
