Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is a push/pull potentiometer? A: A push/pull potentiometer is a type of variable resistor that allows you to switch between two different circuits or functions by pushing or pulling the shaft. This is commonly used in guitars for features like coil splitting or phase shifting.
- Q: What are the dimensions of this CTS 500K potentiometer? A: This CTS 500K potentiometer has a short shaft with a threaded bushing that is 3/8" tall and 3/8" in diameter. The shaft itself has a diameter of .236".
- Q: Is this potentiometer compatible with all guitar types? A: This potentiometer is generally compatible with most production Gibson Les Pauls made before 1977, as well as PRS and Hamer guitars. However, it's important to verify compatibility with your specific guitar model, especially if it uses metric components.
- Q: What is the tolerance of the CTS 500K potentiometer? A: The CTS 500K potentiometer has a tolerance of 10%, which means the actual resistance may vary by 10% above or below the specified 500K ohms.
- Q: How can I install this potentiometer in my guitar? A: To install this potentiometer, ensure you have a 3/8" mounting hole. It's recommended to pinch the tip of the shaft before fitting a knob to prevent knobs from getting stuck.
- Q: What modifications can I make using this potentiometer? A: This potentiometer allows for various wiring modifications such as coil splitting, coil tapping, and phase shifting, enabling you to customize your guitar's sound without altering the body.
- Q: Do I need any special tools to install the potentiometer? A: Basic tools like a soldering iron, wire cutters, and screwdrivers are typically needed to install the potentiometer. Ensure you have the appropriate tools for your guitar's specific wiring setup.
- Q: Can I use this potentiometer for other electronics apart from guitars? A: While this potentiometer is designed primarily for guitars, it can also be used in other audio devices where a push/pull mechanism is needed, provided the voltage and current ratings match.
- Q: What type of wiring diagram is included with the purchase? A: The product includes a wiring diagram that guides you on how to properly connect the potentiometer in your guitar setup, making installation easier.
- Q: What should I do if the potentiometer does not fit my guitar? A: If the potentiometer does not fit, double-check the size of your guitar's mounting hole. You may need a different shaft length or type, particularly if your guitar is designed for metric components.
