Description
A genuine CTS 250K linear taper potentiometer built specifically for tone control duty. Unlike an audio (logarithmic) taper — which is voiced to match how the ear perceives volume changes — a linear taper sweeps evenly across its full rotation, giving smooth, predictable tone shaping without the audio taper's characteristic "bunching" near one end of the sweep.
Benefits:
- Industry-standard CTS quality trusted by major guitar manufacturers
- Even, predictable linear response purpose-built for tone control
- Standard-length bushing fits most guitars without needing carved-top clearance
Features:
- 250K ohm resistance, linear taper
- Split, knurled 6mm shaft with nut
- Standard 3/8" threaded bushing
- Includes dress washer
- For tone control only — not rated for volume duty
