Fender Original 250k Splitshaft Potentiometer, Volume or Tone

Essential for new builds. Great quality

Bought this to replace the pot on my guitar and it worked like a charm and It sounds clean no cracking noises

My challenge: upgrading the electronics of a PartsCaster. First, I tried CTS pots from a third-party seller. Two of three tested out of spec, and were strangely too noisy (internally) when rotating the wipers. Then I tried a Bourns because some reviewers rated those highly. Again, another disappointment, the Bourns also tested out of spec, and its rotation seemed a bit too loose for my liking. Its build quality also seemed not as stout when compared to the CTS but maybe that has zero impact on usability. Still, I noted it. Then, out of desperation I tried the CTS versions sold directly by Fender. I didn't buy the Fender in the first instance because some reviewers gave those pots a bad rating. But boom - right on spec, all three, perfect measurements from 273k on down to 3k, resistance measured precisely the way audio tapers are supposed to, no jumps or dead spots. These were my results. So, lesson learned. In the future, when I want to tool around with my Strats, I'll stick with what Fender sells. It's a bonus that Fender also includes a capacitor with each pot.

Great pots for building strat style guitar pickguards.

I use these on all my Fender rewires and they work great. No need to buy more expensive components.

Good price quality pots. If they added a treble bleed circuit with a capacitor it'd be perfect.

Recientemente use un par de estos para hacerle una mejora a mi Yamaha rbx260 y el cambio fue increíble! mejoro mucho el rango de tono y también en el volumen. excelente opción!

Great replacement pots for a Strat, volume or tone. Put these in a Squier rebuild with new wiring and pickups. Fits perfect on a fender pick guard. My Squier sounds like a nice fender now.
