The CTS 500k linear potentiometers are intended to be used for tone. You can also turn them up as volume if you want a constant progression in volume level. CTS is the reference in terms of potentiometer for electric guitar electronics. The rotation is fluid, the start and end of the stroke are firm, no sputtering and the sound is faithfully transmitted. They are available in several heights to fit every electric guitar. The short versions (6.5mm) are suitable for pickguards up to 3mm or very thin tops. The standard size 9.5mm potentiometers are ideal for all types of guitars with a top thickness of 4 to 7mm. Finally, the 19mm high potentiometers have been for Gibson Les Pauls since 1977.

Valued at 500K, this potentiometer will be the ideal companion for humbucker or passive PAF double coils of any brand: Seymour Duncan, Dimarzio, Lollar, Lindy Fralin, Hepcat, SP Custom, Tornade MS and Cecca of course!

The choice of vintage or modern potentiometer type will depend on your way of playing with it. The vintage potentiometer reaches 15% of the maximum volume at 5 (halfway of the potentiometer). The modern potentiometer will reach 20% of the maximum volume at 5.

Kill two birds with one stone and remember to order the electronic components of your guitar when you change your pickups!
