I have replaced pots and caps in most of my guitars with both RS Guitarworks "Vintage" and "Aged" sets........with pretty good results.
However, I still had a tonal change when turning down the volume pot.
My good friend and Guitar Tech (I5studio) came up with a very cheap mod that REALLY works!

It is the Mojo cap/resistor that goes between the first and second lug on the volume pot....Holy Crap!....it really works now....NO TONAL CHANGE when turning up or down the pot!

BTW, this was in two guitars that have the stock pots and fake bee's...I could imagine what they will do in a RS kit!

Here is the little Bugger:

He didn't "come up with it", that's an old trick. Been using that for over 30 years.
