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 Pauls manufactured before 1977 Gibson historic reissues PRS and Hamer guitars 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. If you e ever had that happen... 3. If you have an import guitar it is probably using metric sized components and these pots cannot be used without modifying the openings on your guitar. ; ## Features - 3/8" Height X 3/8" Diameter Bushing 24 Tooth Fine Spline 1/4" Diameter Shaft - High Quality Brass Bushing & Brass C-clip reinforced Shaft - 10% Tolerance - Audio Taper suitable for both Volume & Tone controls ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Model Number | 450S500K TAOT | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Colour | Multi | | Product Dimensions | 2.54 x 2.54 x 3.18 cm; 82 g | | Item model number | 450S500K TAOT | | Manufacturer | The Art Of Tone | | Item Weight | 82 g | ## Images ![Set of 4 (4X) CTS 450S Custom Series 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Pots - 10% Tolerance - 450G - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MzKpTIZUL.jpg) ![Set of 4 (4X) CTS 450S Custom Series 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Pots - 10% Tolerance - 450G - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KAxvZrYUL.jpg) ![Set of 4 (4X) CTS 450S Custom Series 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Pots - 10% Tolerance - 450G - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kY6bsTWIL.jpg) ![Set of 4 (4X) CTS 450S Custom Series 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Pots - 10% Tolerance - 450G - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DF2pUJafL.jpg) ![Set of 4 (4X) CTS 450S Custom Series 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Pots - 10% Tolerance - 450G - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KeJ0E+DoL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/210218880-set-of-4-4x-cts-450s-custom-series-500k-short](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/210218880-set-of-4-4x-cts-450s-custom-series-500k-short) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
