CTS 500k Potentiometer for Guitar - Short Split Shaft, Audio Taper, Aluminum, 10% Tolerance

Great. Easy install, just practice a bit of soldering before starting and also make sure to follow a clear schematic for the wiring. Brought an old Tele back to life.

This potentiometer got the job done and iI couldn't be happier to have a fully functional jazz bass again. I used this pot to replace the volume pot and it got the job done with no issues. Sodering is required to install it but it can be done by a novice with little experience such as myself.

Good, recommend

Excellent pot! It works great in my Kramer Barreta!!

It appears the quality of this product, like most others, is somewhat lessened of late. The last pot I installed into a Les Paul did not work so I had to remove it and reinstall another pot. When this occurs, how do you get refunded??? You do not. So, ....this was the first time this has happened after about 15-20 purchases so I did not make a fuss. But if this happens again, I will have to contact someone and be refunded. These pots are not cheap so installing a pot to only find out it does not work shouldn;t be happening. It's not easy changing these pots, especially in 335 type guitars and other hollow body and semi-hollow body guitars. I hope the quality stays as good as it has been for the past 20 years.

Works well.

Ya know, these aren’t very expensive I guess, and they more or less do the job they were made to do. But I’m 68 years old and I’ve been working with electronics and instruments my whole life, so I’m decidedly old school. So all I’ll say is, no wonder there are people on EBay who ask $100 for old pots salvaged from vintage guitars. It’s not that they were that great. But by comparison…wow. I almost threw these out when they arrived, but realized that pretty much everything is of this quality now. So I’m not singling out this manufacturer. They’re pretty much all like this now. Of course, 100 bucks for a 50 year old worn out part is insane too…but I see what the allure is…

very smooth and no noise. 5 stars .quality pot
