    Upgrading the electronics on my R7, and looking for the best available pots. It's been a while since I've used the Dimarzio, but remember liking them. Have some VIPots in another Historic and they seems nice too (although they've become a little scratchy and need a spray of deoxit) Anyone...

I would take it that the Faber aluminum would be brighter, and the Callaham thicker? Normally don't prefer brighter, but...
