I'll try replacing the pot then, it will give me a chance to pull apart the old one and see if it's broken. Do you think linear taper is the way to go? I had assumed it was a log pot.

Just checked and it's the neck pickup, tapping on or around it does cause a knocking sound. Has anyone successfully potted these pickups in the past? Am I right to assume that the pickup has no electrical influence on the volume pot once the 5 way switch is centre or lower (i.e. center and...

Thanks, I've not heard about this problem before, maybe it's time for some texas specials.

I'm playing an ST80 Super Edition, and noticed a problem with the volume control. I can't wind the volume right down, so playing through a cranked amp the guitar can't be silenced. Also volume seems to be mostly controlled between 7 and 10. I've had a look at the back and it looks original, I'm...

The Cornell Romany is a fantastic amp, really musical. Dennis knows his stuff, and he's a nice guy.

Certainly helps. Thanks for the comprehensive answers.

So how did the model number work out, they started with TST40 and went up to 120 with the price changes ?

Most likely the original owners didn't think about life in the 21st Century.

Thanks for the detailed answer stratman. Just had a closer look and it is an 8 which fits with the original owners description. Had no idea they were white writing on a black background, makes more sense now. I see what you mean about it not being a copy of a pre-cbs, that would affect it's...

The sticker was worn that way when I got hold of it. I've never seen the 80 sticker unworn, does anyone have a photo, I could compare the worn vs unworn? I'm fairly sure it's a copy of a 63 model strat right ?

I've posted some photos of my Super Edition, interested in anything anyone knows about these models. You can see from the photo of the back of the neck that the model sticker has been partially eroded, not sure why, is it normal? http://web.me.com/mr_andy_jones please let me know if the...

Well you're right, so what are the two prices then, if it's an 80 or not?

Sorry no photos, there is a small sticker on the back of the neck, I think it only says Japan but I could be wrong. I would have to trust the guy, I've no real reason not to.

I'm in the UK, London, so the price will probably be as high as it gets. The guy who's selling it assures me it is a TST80, but I don't know enough about the model specs to tell, it certainly has Super Edition on the headstock, but no oldies but goldies sticker. Apparently he ordered it directly...

That's kind of what I thought, but it's very difficult to identify a similar model.
