Hi I have a Luke BFR with a noisy volume pot and a noisy pickup selector switch. The volume pot makes a lot of noise when rotated up or down, I have sprayed it with switch cleaner TNA. The selector switch makes a loud clunk when moved to a new position, again sprayed with cleaner TNA. Anyone have any ideas? The guitar is only around 3 years old and had little use. Cheers
 
I'm not familiar with TNA, but contact cleaner usually does the trick in these cases. I use DeOxit (popular here for that sort of thing). A squirt or two, plus working the pots for a while, and things are usually good.
 
I second Beej's recommendation. I buy used low end guitars all the time and love crackly pots because they're a nice bargaining point for me and takes me seconds and 5 cents of spray to fix.
