Description
A genuine CTS 500K potentiometer built with an extended 3/4" threaded bushing — nearly double the length of a standard CTS pot's 3/8" thread. That extra length is essential on carved-top guitars like a Les Paul, where the top's thickness means a standard-length pot won't reach through to seat properly against the surface.
Benefits:
- Industry-standard CTS quality trusted by major guitar manufacturers
- Extended 3/4" threaded bushing reaches through thick carved tops where standard pots fall short
- 500K resistance keeps humbucker tone bright and open
Features:
- 500K ohm resistance, ±15% tolerance, audio taper
- 3/4" long threaded bushing, 3/8" diameter
- Split, knurled 1/4" shaft with nut
- Brass bushing with aluminum shaft
- Includes lock washer and two hex mounting nuts for custom height adjustment
Specifications:
- Overall dimensions: 1-9/16" x 7/8"
- Weight: 16 grams
- Note: Imperial (US) sizing — not compatible with import guitars using metric components
