These pots are from CTS's exceptionally high quality 450G series potentiometers made specifically for guitars. These audio taper pots are suitable for both tone and volume controls.
Key Features
500k Ohm (Ω) resistance - The gold standard for humbucker pickups.
±20% Tolerance - Most pots will fall within a value close to 500k.
Audio Taper - Mimics how humans perceive sound for a smooth transition throughout the entire range of motion.
Standard friction rotation - Ensures your settings stay put for enduring an active performance onstage or making smaller, gentler adjustments.

Compatible Mounting Hole - Requires 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter mounting hole.
Before Purchasing
Make sure your guitar has compatible mounting holes - If you are using import guitar, you will need to drill or ream mounting holes wider to fit these pots. Import guitars (e.g., Epiphone, Ibanez, PRS SE models, ESP) typically have metric holes around 1/4" in diameter, while these pots require 3/8" diameter holes.
Note the bushing height - These 3/8" pots are short shaft but are slightly taller than some 1/4" bushing 250k pots, which enhances their compatibility with various guitar models. We include an extra hex nut with each pot to help you dial in the perfect height during installation.
