These are CTS pots in Fender packing, CTS pots are used in most guitars, 500k is usually used for humbuckers, I used these as a replacement for the ones in my Epiphone Les Paul.

Ok so I have a guitar that’s cheaper and I’m learning to do everything on it but the guitar holds a special place in my heart so I decided to upgrade it. For the price of this pot it really is a good deal and it’s installed and sounds amazing. I’m not an audiophile or anything but I did notice a difference compared to the regular pot that was in. For the fit I had to shave the hole a little bigger but that wasn’t a big deal. It performs great and I added a treble bleed on it and sounds so good. NOW my only gripe with it is that when I went to put my volume knob on it the shaft fell out of the threading. There are 4 prongs that hold onto it and any amount of pressure lifts them up and it falls out. I basically had to shave the inside of the volume knob and gently and slowly rock the volume knob back and forth until it caught some. That was probably the most annoying thing of this pot, it wasn’t a deal breaker but I’m scratching my head at why there wasn’t a better way so they don’t separate so easily.

Very nice. Money well spent this will serve its purpose well and I did not expect to get capacitors and washers with it. Thank you

It’s a CTS pot that is simply Fender rebranded. The tolerance might be 15% - 20% variable, but there’s no denying that CTS are the number one choice for potentiometers in quality guitars and pro guitar builds. Smooth-turning with that nice bit of resistance. Good quality brass shaft for long life. The price is pretty much the same (or lower) as CTS pots from most guitar parts outlets and shops.

I installed this on my 80’s Charvel and it works and fits perfectly. I’m not sure why everyone is saying it has no taper… mine works just like every other CTS pot I’ve used. It tapers the full range for me all the way from 0-10, so maybe they overheated the pot when they soldered it or something. Sounds like operator error to me. I’ve bought and installed 3 of these Fender pots and they have all worked fine. Only thing negative I’d mention is that it’s made in Taiwan I believe, definitely an import. They all have CTS stamped on the pot, so for the price I highly recommend these.

Its a shame that several had missing nuts and washers which I had to source and purchase… good pots though and the capacitor is a perfect match for singles as well as HBs and P90s

Authentic Fender Pots, work great but not long enough for my original project which was a Frankenstein. I decided to keep them for my next project. I used one of the capacitors for an upgrade to a stomp box and it worked very well for that. Overall I'm satisfied with the price and operation.
