Allparts CTS 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Potentiometer

Well, I think the title says it all. Very nice taper and turning feel. All prongs are straight and in excellent condition. The turn resistance is just right, not too stiff and not too lose, no wiggles in the shaft, just what most would want. These have the flat backs which I prefer as opposed to vintage style. It's easier for soldering without a shaft end to worry about getting puddled up by accident. It's also one less heat conductor/transfer into vital areas when you're soldering. Great prduct! NOte: I tried contacting the seller yesterday, when I was confused about a delivery. My package had 2 different sets of pots in it, and one was from another separate supplier so I got them confused. The other company sent me 1/4" shafts instead of 3/8" shafts as as listed. I didn't realize that it would be publicly viewed and I thought the stars were more of a current satisfaction rating of how I felt about it, so I gave it 3 stars. Later, I saw it posted in the feedback section once i had realized what happened, and I felt bad. I'm older and not great with computers, internet and understanding how it all works, but I am learning. So, to clear the air best I can here. That was entirely my mistake getting K&R deals mixed up with another supplier - because my package was bundled into one envelope and it was hard to tell. If I can I'll change those 3 stars to 5. If you see it, ignore that feedback. The 5 stars I'm giving it now, is NOT to make up for that feedback. It's because the product deserves it.

My Epiphone Les Paul sounds a lot better with these than the Alpha pots. Great product. REAL CTS....

I love CTS pots, this is no exception. It's very stiff when turning, which is what I always prefer. It makes it less likely you knock back your volume when jamming out.

These are a nice set of 500k CTS pots. They seem to be OK, as I have not installed them yet. They are all wired up and ready to go, but I'm still waiting for a Pick-up to arrive before I can do the final installation. I don't foresee any problems and CTS pts usually work well.

The top hat knob on my Epi 335 was a VERY tight fit on the shaft of this pot. Squeezed the slotted shaft together a bit with pliers and it slides on the shaft *almost* as far as it should, but it took enough force I was worried about causing damage to the knob or the pot.

Great quality pots, really kicked the sound up a notch from the factory pots when paired with orange drop caps. The action is nice and smooth with good friction, meaning they don't turn loosely they're nice and stiff.

These worked as I expected without a problem.

Thought I would be able to use this in my guitar. However, the shaft was too short. Tested the ohms and they read true to the specs. Will use them in another guitar when I need a replacement pot.

These are much better than Bourns pots...buy these instead!

CTS makes the best pots out there.

Very nicely constructed pot. Sick of the cheap, crappy stock pots? Buy these.

Very good quality pots. Rewired my Firebird with these, and I'm not disappointed.

Perfect, you will not go wrong using all parts from Allparts :)

I replaced the small pots in my Johnson Strat with these. Sounds great. Smooth action!
