Best push pull pots I ever bought . you don’t have to thread a needle like the original switches . I put them in a Telecaster and they work great (tight squeeze)butthey work. I have them set up for coil tapping with the .047 capacitor and the guitar sounds great.
High quality pots with push pull switching. I used this in a new guitar build and use the switches for coil splitting on Humbucker pickups. They have smooth action and the switches are solid and positive.
This potentiometer is good quality and robust. If you have other CTS pots in your guitar this will match perfectly in terms of size and the turn rotation. I would reccomend this potentiometers to anyone wanting to mod their guitar.
Overall, pretty good product, although I found the PCB to be a little bit confusing and ended up wearing it backwards. Fine tooth/spline, some turning resistance, not very snappy when actuating the push/pull switch. All right
I resoldered a lead to the switching part, but then I didn't get any signal. After a bit of testing with a multimeter, it turns out that one half of the switch doesn't work anymore. I would give it one star but this is partially my fault. Would be nicer if the switching part had solid lugs instead of the stupid holes.
