Topic: Length of pot for 2011 LP Standard?

Anybody know if I need the long switch or the short switch for my 2011 LP Standard? I am looking at the Toneshaper kit at Acme.

Switch or pot?  I'm going to say the switch you have 3 way switch is as good as you can get and wouldn't replace that.  if your asking about your pots then I'm going to say Long shaft pots due to the carved top its thicker on the body then say an SG which is flat across.

Thanks Ad! Looks like the long shaft is right for the Standard. The Acme info on the Toneshaper kit was a little confusing.

Long shafts are appropriate for Gibson USA models. Custom Shop (Historic) models use short shafts.
