Note: 1.  If you are uncertain whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft  pots, as a general rule this pot will fit most USA-made Gibson Les Paul's manufactured before 1977 excluding Les Paul Studios, and will fit historic reissues, but  please double check before you order. 2. Make sure to pinch the tip of the shaft before you try fitting a knob, this will avoid getting knobs stuck before you install the pot.  If you've ever had that happen...

    TAOT Custom potentiometer set…THE BEST!

    Posted by Jeffrey Hogan on 14th Apr 2023

    These have been my go to potentiometers for all of my guitars. Anytime I buy a new or used Gibson, it gets a set of these. I’ve even started putting them in all my other various guitars as well. They are just that good. They bring life to your guitar, giving it a more full sound. They will change your opinion on a set of pickups for sure. The 10% tolerance keeps them all extremely close to each other and the quality is second to none. As far as The Art of Tone, I have found them to be one of if not the best company to deal with since finding them about 10yrs ago. Shipping is always fast and they’ve never hesitated to answer any questions I’ve had. When you look at the prices of buying these parts individually from any of the big name electronics retailers, the price is better at TAOT. Can’t be beaten in my book which is why I only buy my aftermarket electronics from them.

    I've used these on several builds, and they're what I want.

    Excellent smooth quality for HB's and what I expect from my guitars
