Hi Guys!
I bought a new American Deluxe Series Strat. Does anyone know why the volume control has a "major drop off" if you lower it below
#7? I asked the guy at the store and he said "that's just the way the new ones are." So from 0 to 6 the volume control is basically worthless? He said you usually play Strats "wide open" any way, so it really doesn't make a difference. I did go to a different store and try the same model Strat. Same thing, volume drops way off below #7. The guy there said the same thing. "That's the way they are." But no one could tell me WHY.
Fender does not have any direct (e-mail or phone) contact with the general public, so I couldn't even contact them. The guitar sounds and plays great, so I bought it. But I'd still like to know what the deal is with the volume control. Anybody out there know?????????
Thanks for your help!
