Unparalleled Performance

Experience unparalleled performance with the CTS TAOT 525k Potentiometer, designed for guitar enthusiasts seeking precision and quality. This short-shaft potentiometer features a resistance of 525k Ohms, offering an extra edge to your humbucker pickups and enhancing high-end clarity. With a tight ±5% tolerance, metered by hand, these pots guarantee consistent values between ~500k and ~550k, ensuring reliable tone every time. Perfect for both tone and volume controls, the audio taper provides smooth adjustments that mimic human sound perception.

Durability and Ease of Use

Built for durability and ease of use, this pot includes a split, fine-knurled shaft compatible with standard US knobs (import knobs will not fit). The short brass bushing fits control plates and thinner top woods like SGs, Strats, and some Les Pauls. Each pot comes with essential hardware:

• Two nuts
• A dress washer
• A lock washer for secure installation

Clear stamping eliminates guesswork—know your specs at a glance without external metering.

Compatibility

Ideal for Gibson models (Les Pauls, SGs, Explorers) and Fender guitars with humbucker setups (HSS or HH), this potentiometer is versatile yet specific in its application. Ensure compatibility by checking your guitar’s mounting hole size (requires 3/8" diameter) and bushing height before purchasing. Import guitars may need modifications to fit these pots.
