Elevate your tone with this excellent potentiometer, trusted by guitarists around the world. Typically used for Gibson guitars (SGs, Les Pauls, Explorers, Firebirds), but can be used for Fender guitars with humbucker setups (HSS or HH setups). These DPDT (Double Pole/Double Throw) Push/Pull pots allow for innumerable configurations and mods using easily accessible paired through-holes and terminals. These audio taper pots are suitable for both tone and volume controls.

Before Purchasing
Make sure your guitar has compatible mounting holes - If you are using import guitar, you will need to drill or ream mounting holes wider to fit these pots. Import guitars (e.g., Epiphone, Ibanez, PRS SE models, ESP) typically have metric holes around 1/4" in diameter, while these pots require 3/8" diameter holes.
Note the bushing height - These 3/8" pots are short shaft but are slightly taller than some 1/4" bushing 250k pots, which enhances their compatibility with various guitar models. We include an extra hex nut with each pot to help you dial in the perfect height during installation.
Ensure you have proper clearance - This pot is fairly large on the underside and may not fit every guitar’s control compartment. It requires a minimum 1 & 1/8" clearance to fit, so please measure to make sure it’ll fit in your rig!
