Location: Illinois | Some months back I gutted my "O".. okay, it's an "A". In preparation of bridge work. And umm... I lost the paper diagram I made which told me which pot was the volume and which was tone. And .... umm... which went in which hole.
HELP! Can anybody help me ID the Pots and proper location?
FWIW She's Otilda, an AE33
For reference sake, let's call them, in order:

Pot1

Location: Upper Left USA | The Volume pot is first in line from the piezo and is placed closest to the neck.
Unless of course I'm wrong... |

You could just put the pickup in, plug it in and strum the guitar. Try the pots to see which one is the volume, and mark it. Put them wherever makes you happy. |

As an interesting aside, I have an old AE-38, 2-knobber, whose electrical guts are linked into an elongated case, but have the same spacing! |

And.. Easy on the Country and Red-neck jokes. I resemble that remark... me and Glenn Campbell, who also had a fettish for Ovation lute-tars. |
