When choosing a bourns push pull 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 are common for humbuckers. Keep in mind 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.
