Description
A less common resistance value that sits right between the standard 250K and 500K options, giving a middle-ground tonal character — slightly brighter and more present than a 250K pot, without going as bright and open as a 500K. This value has a genuine following among players seeking a touch more clarity from single-coil pickups without fully committing to humbucker-style brightness; it's also historically associated with certain Gibson models like the Les Paul Special. Built with the vintage-correct dimpled back and short bushing for clean pickguard or control-plate mounting.
