Good quality, fast shipping
Works great on my bass guitar. The knob fits snugly. Only giving 4 stars because the solder lugs were a bit stiff to bend.

Perfect replacement for my Strat
The 18mm shaft was exactly what I needed for my thick pickguard. Smooth rotation and no crackling sounds after installation.

Exactly as described
I bought this to upgrade the tone pot on my Les Paul copy. The long shaft cleared the body thickness perfectly.

Great value
Can't beat the price for a 500k long shaft pot. Installed two of them in my custom build without any issues.

Smooth action
Very smooth taper. Makes volume swells much easier to control. Highly recommend for DIY guitar projects.

Decent but knob is loose
The potentiometer itself works fine, but the included knob feels a little loose on the shaft. Might need some extra padding.
Q: Will this fit a standard Fender pickguard?
A: Yes, the 18mm long shaft is specifically designed to fit through thicker pickguards commonly found on Fender-style instruments.
Q: What is the diameter of the shaft?
A: The shaft diameter is standard 6.35mm (1/4 inch), compatible with most guitar knobs.
Q: Does it come with a nut and washer?
A: Yes, each unit includes a mounting nut and a lock washer for secure installation.
Q: Can I use this for a passive bass guitar?
A: Absolutely. The 500k resistance value is commonly used for humbucker pickups in both electric guitars and basses.
Q: Is this pot linear or audio taper?
A: This is an Audio Taper (A-Taper) potentiometer, which is ideal for volume and tone controls in guitars.
