Doing some work on an electric guitar. Needed 500 Ohm pots (potentiometers) for the Tone and Volume controls -- these fit the purpose. Just ordered 2 more in a different Ohm value for a similar use -- they work perfectly for my purposes and appear to be well designed and functional for the price.

I bought these as replacement pots for the volume and tone knobs on my Epiphone/ Gibson 335. When upgrading the pickups. They seem to work well and they can recommended.

Great quality, smooth. Good brass threads and enough thread for vintage 4-ply pickguard.

I knew overseas guitars required some additional routing, but these pots fundamentally do their job. They feel great and are a perfect fit for both an Ibanez RG and Harley Benton Fusion-T. They require some knobs that need to be fastened and are 1/4" diameter as stated, but there are plentiful around the net to shop for.
