Product information
General
CTS USA's potentiometers are of excellent quality. The CTS500-A53 has a resistance of 500 kOhms, making it suitable for guitars equipped with humbuckers. Its logarithmic taper ensures gradual adjustment, making it a perfect volume control. Thanks to its split shaft, you can easily fit (screw-less) knobs on it. In short, this is high-quality potentiometer that'll help you make the most of the sound of your guitar.
Tips or comments about this product
Please note: this potentiometer features an American fine shaft with 24 teeth and is only suited for knobs on American guitars. Coarse knobs, such as you'll find on Asian guitars, won't fit properly.

Bullshit. This is not CTS as it used to be. This is “Boston” brand custom order, probably with requirements “make it as cheap as possible”.
I bought them, installed, and now I am thinking to order regular CTS.. wasting time and money

Prijzig maar een zeer goede potmeter.
Ik kan deze aanbelen voor iedereen die een upgrade zoekt.
Wel even naar de diameter van de shaft kijken.

Geweldige Potentiometers!
Ben er zeer tevreden over!
Ik raad iedereen aan om zeker eens te kijken naar de lengte van de pots voor je ze koopt.
Fender gitaren hebben vaak kortere shafts nodig en gibson langere ;)
