🎶 Elevate Your Tone with Precision!
The Bourns Guitar & Amp Potentiometer features a 500K audio taper, designed for low friction rotation and a coarse knurl 18-tooth shaft, making it an essential component for guitar enthusiasts looking to enhance their sound. With a 3/8" bushing height, it fits perfectly into various setups, though it's not compatible with US-spec knobs or import guitars with metric components.

super smooth action
These are GREAT pots. I build and modify my own guitars, have a lot of experience with different potentiometers from various manufactures and the Bourns pots are the best I have ever used for the price. There are some higher end pots but very expensive and not cost effective considering law of diminishing returns. These feature a super smooth action, perfect for volume swells and pinkie control when playing. If you are looking for the best pots for your build or refurb, this is it. Go. Buy. Now.

Measured 15% lower
Pot measured 427K which is within the 20% variance, but much lower than the Korean pots that I buy at gc. All of those are within 1%.

Piece of Crap
I bought this for a guitar I was building, thinking it would be a higher quality alternative to the cheap dime-size pots that you see in a lot of guitars. Boy was I wrong. Yes, it's full size, but that is all it has going for it. Firstly, It didn't work. My instrument has a Humbucker, so an actual 500K pot is enough resistance to cut it out completely. 500k for a humbucker is standard. The one I received, however, while it said 500k on the unit itself, could only cut half the volume out of the instrument, rendering it essentially useless for my purposes. On top of this, instead of having some resistance to the turn as a high quality potentiometer would, it spun all but freely, making fine control difficult, and making it feel extremely cheap. As for instalation, the threaded shaft is much wider than a standard shaft, which, to be fair, they did mention. But the real problem was that it was so long that when I put a typical plastic Strat-style knob on it, the knob floated half a centimeter off the pick guard. Would not recommend. Either buy a real CTS or Seymour Duncan potentiometer, or just buy the cheap dime size ones. Never had trouble with those.

Amazing Pot's
Blown away by how smooth these are. Made my guitar feel like a custom shop guitar.
