CTS Custom Spec'd 525K long/split, knurled shaft, audio taper potentiometers. 5% Tolerance. All pots measure between 500K-550K. These pots our own custom branded and spec'd pots manufactured by CTS. These are identical in construction to CTS's high quality 450G series pots, but we spec'd them at 525K.

At 5% tolerance the value of these pots are guaranteed to read between 500K and 550K. This means no exceptionally low or high resistance pots that can be found when using typical 10-20% tolerance 500K pots. We're very pleased with these pots and think you will be too!

Notes:

1. If you are uncertain whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots, as a general rule this pot will fit most USA-made Gibson Les Paul's manufactured after 1977 excluding historic reissues, but please double check before you order.
2. Make sure to pinch the tip of the shaft before you try fitting a knob, this will avoid getting knobs stuck before you install the pot.
