Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What are CTS pots and why are they preferred? A: CTS pots are high-quality audio potentiometers used in electric guitars. They are preferred by many guitar manufacturers, including Gibson and Fender, due to their reliability and consistency in performance.
- Q: What is the difference between 500k and 250k pots? A: 500k pots provide a brighter tone with more high-end response, making them ideal for humbucker pickups, while 250k pots are often used with single-coil pickups for a warmer sound.
- Q: What does the term 'audio taper' mean? A: Audio taper refers to the way the resistance changes as you turn the pot. A 500k audio-taper pot mimics the logarithmic response of human hearing, allowing for smoother volume adjustments.
- Q: Are these pots suitable for all guitar types? A: These CTS 500k pots are specifically designed for electric guitars, particularly those with rear routing. Ensure compatibility with your guitar's setup before installation.
- Q: What is included in the packaging? A: The package includes ten CTS pots along with the necessary hardware: lockwashers, flat washers, and nuts for installation.
- Q: How do I install these pots? A: Installation involves removing your guitar's backplate, connecting the wires to the appropriate terminals on the pot, and securing it with the supplied hardware. If unsure, consult a professional technician.
- Q: What is the shaft type of these pots? A: These pots feature a 24-tooth knurled split-shaft designed for compatibility with standard 24-tooth plastic knobs that push on.
- Q: What is the bushing thread size? A: The bushing thread size is 3/8-32, which has a diameter of 3/8 inch and a length of 1/2 inch, making them suitable for rear-routed guitars.
- Q: How can I ensure the longevity of these pots? A: To ensure longevity, handle pots carefully during installation, avoid exposure to excessive moisture, and periodically check connections for wear or corrosion.
- Q: What makes CTS pots stand out from other brands? A: CTS pots are known for their tight manufacturing tolerances (10%), low torque design for easy adjustment, and their long-standing reputation in the industry, trusted by many guitar builders for decades.
