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.

I bought these to replace the stock POTS in my Ibanez hollow body. These have larger diameter shafts than the originals (and 99% of the ones made overseas). You'll need a reamer (NOT A Drill) to make the hole diameter larger. A drill will ruin your day quickly. The knobs will also need to be changed if you're replacing the overseas version POTS. The install was easy and no issues with soldering the posts or case. Nice smooth operation with no noise.

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.

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.

very smooth and no noise. 5 stars .quality pot

This is for a late 90's Korean Hamer SATF. I had already previously enlarged the holes in the wood to fit Gibson Pots so this one fit snugly. Smooth roll off and no crackling. The 'short' shaft seemed a little to short and could have done with it being a tad bit longer. But it makes for a firm fit.
