When you changed to the Element system, did your tech use the existing vol/tone pots are did he use the Baggs versions and just connect them to the knobs? If the pots are what were in the guitar, they may be a big part of the problem.
Sounds as though you are more committed to the knobs than the sound of the guitar....
Hope you find a solution that works for you...

It is a pretty rare model. A 1983 D70-12E. The E is for electronic (or electric), and I confirmed with Hans Moust that the knobs and the original system are original to the guitar.
The pots were replaced when my tech undertook the project, but I would have to find out from him exactly what he did.
I have no problem replacing the system with another that sounds better, if there is no other option, but my preference is not to make the knobs obsolete.
I just want to determine if what I want to do is possible, so that the guitar can be played as intended.
Thanks.
