Note:
- If you are uncertain whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots. As a general rule Les Paul's built after 1977 excluding the historic reissues use long shaft potentiometers, but please double check your guitar before you order.
- If your guitar is an import it has metric pots and the openings will require modification to accommodate this pot.
- Know what you are purchasing. What does 10% tolerance mean? It means this pot spec'd to 500K pot can have a reading between 450K and 550K and be within tolerance. Many CTS pots being sold where tolerance isn't specified are actually 20% tolerance, which means a 500K pot could have a reading anywhere between 400K and 600K and be considered within tolerance.
