Here's a 'Crafted in China' Washburn XB125. It originally had a master volume, master tone and toggle switch. However, the toggle switch died about 2 years ago. As no suitable spare parts were available here (believe it or not) and the owner needed it pronto; I removed the toggle switch and replaced it with a DiMarzio 500K pot that was in my spare parts bin. So, what you are looking at now is a rush job with a neck pup volume, bridge pup volume and master tone (DiMarzio 500K).
Clockwise from left: bridge pup volume, neck pup volume, master tone.
Clockwise from left: neck pup volume pot, bridge pup volume pot, master tone pot.
The nut appears to be made of wood.
W941 (neck) and W943 (bridge) pickups.
Everything has been potted with epoxy, so no chance of peering inside.

March 5, 2012. Completed control cavity shielding, installed and tested new wiring scheme and components. Everything is working as it should, thank goodness. The changes include an Ibanez Phat II EQ circuit, master volume pot (Alpha 500K), master tone pot (Alpha 500K / 0.047 microfarad cap), 3-way toggle switch (neck pup / both / bridge pup), DPDT bypass switch and stereo output jack.
Overview of the battery compartment and control cavity.
Closer view of the control cavity.
New layout for the controls.
