Premium Upgrade for Your Guitar's Electronics
Looking for a premium upgrade for your guitar's electronics? Our 525k pot short shaft CTS potentiometer is designed to deliver exceptional tone and reliability. Manufactured by CTS and custom-spec’d by TAOT, these pots are based on the high-quality 450G series but feature a unique 525k resistance value. This provides a slight boost to your humbuckers' output, enhancing clarity and high-end sparkle.
Exceptional Performance and Design
These pots are built with ±10% tolerance, meaning their resistance values range from ~475k to ~575k, ensuring consistent performance compared to standard 500k pots with a wider 20% tolerance. With an audio taper design, they offer smooth volume and tone adjustments that mimic natural sound perception—perfect for both tone and volume controls.
Key Features
- 525k Ohm resistance: Ideal for humbucker pickups, adding extra clarity and brightness.
- Audio taper: Ensures smooth transitions across the control range.
- ±10% tolerance: Delivers consistent tone without extreme variances.
- Standard friction rotation: Keeps settings stable during performances.
- Crystal clear stamping: Know exactly what a pot is, at a glance.
Physical Compatibility
This pot is physically optimized for various guitars:
- Short shaft (3/8" brass bushing): Fits thinner top woods like SGs, Strats, Teles, and some Les Pauls.
- Split knurled shaft (24-tooth): Compatible with standard US knobs (import knobs won’t fit).
- Includes all necessary hardware: 2 nuts, a dress washer, and a lock washer.
Important Notes Before Purchasing
Before purchasing, ensure your guitar has compatible mounting holes (3/8" diameter). Import guitars typically require reaming to fit these pots. The slightly taller bushing height also enhances compatibility across different models.
