Hi, everyone, first post here, I'm really tempted by a Stingray HT, I know Music Man guitars are fantastic, however I hear a lot of complaints about noisy push/push volume pot on this models, sometime requiring to change the full electronic card ? Would like to hear a bit about this "issue" before making my decision to buy one.

I don't know of them being noisy and that's not a complaint that we've heard here (certainly uncommon enough that I can remember it) and not a common complaint of push-push pots in general.

Anyone ever changed one out? Can't a new one just be soldered to the board?

In my experience they do become scratchy faster than regular pots. Which is expectable as more complicated design with more moving parts. You can solder one on the board, but many old “school techs” not happy with the flat cable and pcb soldering as it requires a small tip in the iron.
