I’m rewiring a Les Paul black beauty with the Frampton mod. At first inspection, the pots are a little scratchy turning the variable knob. I test each pot with a ohm meter and found that the pots were not identical, (500k ). They’d were 479, 509, 517, and 538. All will work but the 479 will cut tone.I’ll use the 517 and 538 for volume and tone on neck and bridge pups. No problem. The middle pup is being wired to its own volume and tone. The 509 will work but the 479 might not, depending on the signal I get, and the taper.I’ll post an update after installation.CTS may have been the way to go. Seymour Duncan wants $15.00/ for their pots. A bit pricey imho.

I purchased these to check to see if they were at least as good as what I have been buying from more well known parts suppliers. I can honestly say these are quite good and I will likely buy more in the future.

Seem well made, but having fitted them they are too easy to turn if you touch them accidentally, better a bit stiffer.

I got 500K pots and they measure around 440-480K range. 60-70K is an audible difference for humbucker guitars, the guitar sounds darker than with the before "cheap" & "flimsy" pot measuring 512K. I am looking for better metric pots...still haven't found any yet.

Sembrano robusti e dopo qualche mese continuano a funzionare bene.

I looked everywhere to find metric short split shaft tone and volume control potentiometers for my Korean made Les Paul guitar. These were perfect and about 1/3 the price of other brands.

I had to swap out the potentiometers on a guitar I was trying to restore. The guitar was a Jay Turser SG style guitar. The original pots were the small dime pots. Wow! what a difference these made with the volume and tone controls. I'm very pleased, great quality, and again made an instant improvement to my guitar's tone.

Drop in replacement, or upgrade for import guitars. Well made and durable.

These have a nice medium-loose turn resistance, similar to a full sized CTS potentiometer, not quite as tight as Alphas, or sticky-tight like other cheapos I've seen, like Cherkfan (CF). They're smooth, quiet and look a lot like Fender/CTS clones. Like someone else mentioned, that "brass" chassis part, is not really brass. It's gold chrome'd pot metal (not a problem), but the actual shaft is brass. I'd put these in the medium-good quality range just by feeling them. Decent CTS clone, better than unbranded stuff. Very similar to a good Alpha pot, but looks and feels more like a Fender/CTS. My multimeter puts them at 236-254.Edit: June 2024, bought them again for another guitar. Same good quality. The old ones are still working great as well.
