Description
A genuine CTS potentiometer at 1 Meg (1,000K) — well above the standard 250K/500K range used on most passive guitars. This high resistance value is favored by players looking to maximize a humbucker's natural brightness and top-end clarity, and is also the traditional value used in the Jazzmaster/Jaguar rhythm circuit's volume position (when built with a standard rotary shaft rather than the roller-style control).
Benefits:
- Industry-standard CTS quality trusted by major guitar manufacturers
- Maximizes brightness and clarity from humbucker pickups
- Traditional value for Jazzmaster/Jaguar rhythm circuit applications
Features:
- 1 Meg ohm resistance, linear taper
- Split, knurled 1/4" (6mm) shaft with nut
- 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
