Key Features of 300k Guitar Pots

  • Balanced Tone: Achieve a clear, well-rounded sound that isn't too bright, perfect for guitars with medium to high-output pickups. This balance helps tame harsh highs while maintaining definition.
  • CTS Quality: Our pots are from CTS, a brand trusted by American guitar manufacturers for decades. They offer a ±10% resistance tolerance, ensuring consistent performance and accurate tone control.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both humbucker and single-coil setups, 300k pots provide a middle ground between the brightness of 500K and the warmth of 250K pots.
  • Audio Taper: Features an audio taper for smooth, gradual control over volume and tone, closely matching how the human ear perceives sound.
  • Short Split Shaft: Ideal for easy installation of push-on knobs and compatible with many popular guitar models.

When choosing a 300k pot for your guitar, consider these potentiometer selection tips:

  • Resistance Value: Pair pot resistance to your pickups. 250K pots are common for single-coils, 500K pots for humbuckers. Keep in mind that higher values retain more highs.
  • Tolerance: Opt for a tight tolerance, such as 10%, to ensure the potentiometer's resistance is close to its rated value.
  • Knob compatibility: Ensure knobs and pots fit each other to avoid damage when installed.
  • Shaft length: Long shaft pots for wide bodies (e.g., Les Paul), short shaft pots for slimmer bodies (e.g., Tele, Strat).
  • Pot shaft diameter: Check fit with guitar body holes. Metric guitars have smaller holes than American-made guitars.
  • Taper: Audio taper is preferred for volume and tone controls. Its output closely matches how the human ear perceives sound.
  • Special features: Consider push-pull pots if you want added tonal capabilities like coil splitting or phase switching.
  • Brand reputation: Buying from respected brand names like TAOT, CTS and Bourns ensures you get top quality.
