sandpiper, that is an odd problem. Sometimes a cap can cause some wierd noise problem.
I woudl suggest plugging the guitar straight into the amp...no effects. TEst the guitar this way. IF there is no problem, then the guitar is fine.
Re: pots.....the pots in that guitar are 300K. ON the volume pots, they are linear taper. MOst folks would go back with 500K audio. You are going to have to have the long thread shaft pots since that guitar has the metal mounting base and is not routed for short shaft pots. THe GIbson 300K replacement long shafts will yield the same type of taper that you are accustomed to on the guitar. 500K audio will be more of a vintage sound...a bit brighter...but will have a different taper. That is, they wil lose presence as you go down the range of the pot. A treble bypass cap takes care of that if you are accustomed to roling the volume down and maintaining presence.
First....see if the guitar is truly the problem by testing it by itself.
