Set of four (4X) Bourns 500K Long split shaft audio taper low friction potentiometers with a pair of .022uf/200V Orange Drop polypropylene capacitors. Bourns are a nice quality alternative to CTS pots. These audio taper pots are suitable for both tone and volume controls. Some of the features of this pot are: 500K Ohms/15% Tolerance Audio Taper Low friction rotation Solid brass 3/8" (short shaft) bushing Split, coarse 18-tooth, knurl, .236" diameter shaft Each pot comes with hardware - 2 nuts & dress washer Requires 3/8" diameter mounting hole Note: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 (those with a control plate), Les Paul Studios, and 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. If you've ever had that happen...

Bourns 500K pots work very well high quality. One note these pots have a lot less friction when they turn. I don't care for that on my guitars. Not sure if they are available with higher friction like the CTS pots. However they are still very good quality pots.

If you want that floating-knob feeling, these are what you want. Buy them already.

Fit my Gibson Les Paul Standard perfectly. These are high quality, low friction pots so they turn easily.

I purchased these components after I rewired my homemade guitar 3 times just to find that my former too good to be true priced Pots and caps which were too good to be true were crap. I rated those parts a one star. Never order 4 pots and 2 - 500 K ohm caps for $9, they won't work. These are sturdy parts and were excellent. 0 noise on a well shielded instruments. I couldn't be happier sliding and gliding over the strings as my amp is pumping out the notes in crisp clear intonation.

Truly opened up the Tone number between one and 10 compared to the original pots in the guitar. I will only use this brand going forward.

2 of them arrived torn apart and fully damaged, one of them is crooke. Also they have no resistance at all, just plain awful. I do not recommend them
