Enhance Your Guitar’s Tone with the Bourns 250K Pot

The Bourns 250K Audio Taper Potentiometer is a trusted choice for guitarists seeking precision and smooth control over their instrument’s tone and volume. Designed for single-coil pickups, this pot ensures a natural and musical taper, making it perfect for dynamic swells or subtle adjustments during your performance. Its low-friction rotation allows effortless operation, even with your pinky finger, while the short shaft design ensures compatibility with thinner guitar tops like Telecasters, Strats, SGs, and more.

Why Choose the Bourns 250K Pot?

  • Improved Tone Control: The 250K resistance is ideal for taming harsh highs in single-coil pickups, delivering a warmer and more balanced sound.
  • Effortless Adjustments: Low-friction rotation makes quick changes seamless, whether you're on stage or in the studio.
  • Durable Build: Solid brass bushing and high-quality components ensure reliability during rigorous use.

Key Features

  • Resistance: 250K Ohms (±20% tolerance) for optimal single-coil performance.
  • Taper: Audio taper for smooth volume and tone transitions.
  • Shaft: Short split knurled shaft (3/8" length) compatible with metric-sized knobs (6mm diameter, 18-tooth spline).

Installation Tips

Ensure your guitar has a compatible 3/8" mounting hole. Import guitars with smaller holes may require modification. Check your knobs for compatibility—metric-sized knobs fit perfectly, but U.S.-sized knobs will not.

Amazing Potentiometers!

These pots are so smooth and glide to the end of the twist with a satisfying thunk. I searched high and low for the best Pots on the market for my latest build and these fit the bill amazingly well. I am a fan of Bourns potentiometers now!

Doesn't fit in Squire Strat Classic 50s vibe

Doesn't fit in Squire Strat Classic 50s vibe. The description doesn't give enough details as far as I can tell.

3 stars just because it wouldn't let me submit this without a rating.

very nice

decided to make the switch to Bourns after using exclusively CTS and i like these much better. soldering sticks to them better, the lugs/terminals and the fiberboard attaching them are both more robust, the entire back is flat so you can put solder anywhere (unlike most CTS that have the little divot on the back with the nub that is attached to the shaft that you need to keep clear unless you want your pots not to move freely) and they just feel way way way smoother than all of the CTS pots i’ve used. will definitely be going with Bourns every time i need pots from now on and would definitely recommend them.
