Ok, so I changed the pickups in my mexican strat.
I put in Texas specials.
It seems really quiet. I opened it up and made sure that I didn't have

It is still quiet. (Meaning that I turn my practice amp up quite a bit
just to hear it)
Could this be the Volume pot that is being used?
What is the normal value for a volume pot in a strat?

The most common is 250K, although my Dlx uses 1M. See:

for all of the gory details.


Are the tone pots and volume pots usually the same value?

Thanks
