Enhance Your Guitar's Tone with the Bourns 500k Push Pull Pot Short Shaft
The Bourns 500k push pull pot short shaft is a high-quality potentiometer designed for guitarists seeking precision and versatility. Perfect for thinner guitar tops like Teles, Strats, SGs, and some Les Paul models, this pot offers smooth control for tone and volume adjustments. Its DPDT push/pull functionality makes it a go-to choice for unlocking advanced mods such as coil splitting and phase switching.
Why Choose the Bourns 500k Push Pull Pot?
- Improved Tone Clarity: The 500k Ohm resistance maintains brightness and clarity in humbuckers, ensuring your guitar sounds its best.
- Versatile Modding Options: Easily switch between standard and custom wiring configurations using the DPDT push/pull mechanism.
- Effortless Adjustments: Low torque design allows for smooth, precise control during performances without interrupting your playing.
- Perfect for Thinner Guitars: The short 3/8" brass bushing fits thinner top woods and control plates securely.
Key Features
- Resistance: 500k Ohm (±20% tolerance) optimized for humbuckers.

Buying Tips
- Check Compatibility: Ensure your guitar has a 3/8" (9.5mm) mounting hole. Import guitars may require drilling or reaming to fit these pots.

Great Product. I find these to be very easy to solder and to wire. I use them both for tone and volume. Great for splitting the coils. Used these on a few of my guitars already with Seymour Duncan pickups.
Unused this to split coils on Peavey EVH Wolfgang. Game changer to get that snappy single coil tone. I’m doing this in every guitar from now on.
Great pots, good movement and tactility on the switching and turns.
Just wish I had thought further ahead and I'm gunna need to order more.
These switches worked nicely on a custom bass I just crafted. Nothing else to say except they work as designed and expected. Use these when you have a 4 wire pickup to get optional tones such as coil split, phase reverse, and series/parallel.
It fit a bit deep and had to do a little tweaking but it is a quality pot
