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. The solid shaft is built for knobs that use a set screw to lock on, rather than the friction-fit split-shaft design — the right choice when your knobs are the set-screw style, common on many boutique and vintage-reissue guitars.
