Is there a way to make the volume/tone knobs more loose?

Hello! I love my Vigier guitars, but I have one thing I was wondering.

I like volume knobs that turn fast and easy since I often use the volume knob when I play. Is there any way to make them more loose on my Vigiers? I have the regular Bumblefoot signature + a Surfreter.

You can add friction to a knob, but the minimal friction of your pots are dictated by their construction. You can replace your pots with “low friction” ones (Bourns produces them under their own brand and for EVH).

You can put liquid oil in the pot (where the pins are there is a gap)

I've noticed that these knobs spin much easier on cheaper guitars. Can you try to order them from Aliexpress?td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}

On cheaper guitars they put cheaper pots, we use pots that last longer....:=)
