- Specifications -

Potentiometer:

500k Ohm (Ω) resistance - The gold standard for humbucker pickups.

±10% Tolerance - Ensures you get the intended tone you’re expecting from your pot.

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.

Split, 24-tooth, Fine knurled, .236" (6mm) diameter shaft - Standard fit for US knobs. Import knobs will not fit!

Short Shaft 3/8" (9.5mm) length solid brass bushing - Will fit all control plate setups and thinner top woods (Teles, Strats, SGs, some thinner Les Pauls)

Crystal Clear Stamping - Know exactly what your pot is at a glance! No need to meter or decipher complicated part numbers to know what you’re working with.

Compatible Mounting Hole - Requires 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter mounting hole.

Capacitor:

.022 microfarad capacitance - A mild capacitance value to help chill only the harshest highs without modifying your guitar’s melodious mids.

200V voltage rating - Overkill for guitar circuits, but provides peace of mind for long-lasting performance.

±5% Tolerance - Ensures you get the intended tone you’re expecting from your cap.

Compact cylindrical design - Allows the cap to fit into nearly all control cavities or configurations.

Tinned copper-clad steel leads - Extremely durable and flexible to adjust to any setup.

2” Tinned copper-clad steel leads - Long leads will help accommodate any wiring setup, big or small!

Buss Wire:

18awg Solid-core wire - Able to safely handle any guitar grounding need.

Completely pre-tinned length - The entire length of the conductor is pre-tinned. No special preparation needed; anywhere you cut is ready to solder!


PLEASE NOTE:

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.

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.
