yeah bro, i did check that out previously as well.
USD$15 to ship a set of knobs in are a little crazy.
i don't have the heart to buy a set of plastic knobs at ard SGD$10+ each after conversion + S/H... and only use just the volume knob only...
I bought the green allparts tone knob at $2 from tymc only
Thx for the heads up though.

New from Swee Lee goes for 190 listed price. IIRC should be 140 after discount, going by my inquiry of a PAF 36th a few months back. Correct me if I wrong but aren't Duncan Antiquities voiced more for a vintage tone, rather than a modern one? But more importantly, do they come in black F-spaced?
The main reason why I need to get a new humbucker is thanks to a surge from dunno what source, my Burstbucker is now developing a 60 cycle hum. Friend thinks a surge may have split the wire connecting both coils. Will open up my pickguard when I change strings to test the resistance of the pickup and see if if has been 'coil-tapped'. I may use this guide to check up on the humbucker once my school term ends. Anyone got a heat gun to spare?
I have connected the pickup directly to an output jack and the hum is still there. And my neck and bridge pickups are still fine. And no, it's definitely not a ground issue either. The hum doesn't go away when I touch any metal parts of the guitar nor the grounded parts of the guitar as well.
