500k Pots for Guitars, Push Pull Guitar Pots, Bourns Potentiometer, Short Split Shaft, Audio taper, The Art of Tone, Pair (2X)

These are high quality pots - they take USA knobs. Not much more to say - they are good pots and they work as directed.

Bought these for a Telecaster Deluxe partscaster to run each humbucker in parallel in addition to series. The two pots measured 495 and 485, a 1-3% tolerance, so that’s great. Wired up and worked just fine. The push/pull motion is just a touch stiff, but I would prefer that over them being loose. The problem I ran into was, the first pair did not come with all of the washers, so I got an exchange/replacement set through Amazon, but then I noticed the second pack didn’t have all of the nuts, so in the end I got everything that I needed, but I had to delay my project a week for the exchange to get it completed.

Purchased to rebuild a wiring harness for a hollow body project I have been working off and on for a year.Arrived quickly, lowest price I could find. Super smooth and a quality feel.Pots are installed: coil tap and reverse phase are both working flawlessly!Will buy again!

I used two of these on an IYV lp style guitar to split the pup’s. Love how they feel and work. Hard to explain how it sounds, but i did a 50’s wiring with split in the tones, and just love the sound and feel. Will buy again and again.

Though I have not wired them up yet, they feel very high quality. They seem sturdy and turn very smoothly

Wiring was easy peezy, pot works as expected, only gripe I have is that the pot turns too easily with very little torque (sometimes when it gets touched by my pinky while strumming) I wish it was more like CTS pot that requires a little higher torque given that I have it for vol. control, not tone

Update 12/21I had to purchase two more. After seeing reviews on this vendor/item showing same issues as mine, there was no way I was purchasing from the same vendor again. I should add, that I also had the issue with the knob popping off when pulling up on it. At first, if collapsed then was stuck. When I put a little extra effort into pulling it back up, the shaft just popped out and would not lock back in, which is why I had to buy new ones. I decided to do some homework first this time and the results left me wondering if these are counterfeit.This item # from vendor "Art of Tone" = 4334248171Do a google search of that product/item number and the result is a list of questionable Amazon affiliate pages pointing back to the item on Amazon, and a bunch of foreign websites.I opted to purchase from a different vendor using product/vendor # PDB183-GTR01-504A2. Search results for this item number are as they should be with reputable vendors like Mouser in the SERP's .So, I went with the new vendor and proper item #. I received them and have installed them. No scratchy, static noises, no granular feeling when rolling back and forth. I also threw in some volume swells and it's smooth as butter. They are as I would expect them to be.To be clear/fair; I am in no way accusing this vendor of intentionally selling counterfeit items. Who knows, maybe they got a bad batch. Maybe they were scammed and didn't know and unintentionally passed on the bad goods. Maybe they were just old stock and had degraded some how. What I do know is the following; I didn't have to spray Deoxit on the ones I just bought to make them work like new, and I'll be a little more thorough next time I make a similar purchase.Original Purchase: 12/19These are supposed to be brand new. I have no reason to believe that they aren't. However, after installing and using, they had a granular feel to them, and were/are very noisy and scratchy. If I were capable of doing volume swells like EVH and worked the volume knob often during play, I would have instantly removed them and put the factory pots back in.I did some research and apparently pots can get dirty and require cleaning, and most likely some special cleaning fluid is needed to resolve the issues I mention. I've blasted some air into them as recommended online which temporarily made them a little better but they went back to the same a short time later.I gave them 3 stars because they worked. As it stands, I'm not particularly happy about now needing to purchase cleaning fluid to fix noise issues with brand new pots. I'm currently looking at some new pickups. I may just opt for another pot solution when the time comes.

Very smooth, work great

Does the job
