Description
The industry-standard potentiometer trusted by Fender, Gibson, PRS, and nearly every major American guitar builder for decades. This 500K version is the standard resistance for humbucker-equipped guitars, preserving more top-end brightness than a 250K pot. Now available in both standard right-handed and true left-handed versions — the left-handed pot has its taper reversed internally so it functions correctly, not just repackaged for a lefty build.
Benefits:
- Industry-standard quality trusted by major guitar manufacturers
- 500K resistance keeps humbucker tone bright and open
- True left-handed option available with correctly reversed taper, not a workaround
Features:
- 500K ohm resistance, ±15% tolerance, audio taper
- Split, knurled 1/4" shaft with nut (24 spline)
- Aluminum bushing and shaft
- Includes lock washer and dress washer
Specifications:
- Threaded shaft: 3/8" long, 3/8" diameter
- Overall dimensions: 1-1/4" x 7/8"
- Weight: 16 grams
- Note: Imperial (US) sizing — not compatible with import guitars using metric components
