    CTS 'USA spec' Precision Audio Taper Potentiometer.

    The CTS precision audio taper gives you smoother and more accurate response than with economy pots.

    - 3/8" (9.5mm) diameter brass threaded collar.
    - 24 spline (fine) brass split shaft.
    - Includes 1 x nut, 1 x dress washer and 1 x lock washer.

    Dimensions:

    - The brass threaded collar is 6.4mm long.
    - Total length of the shaft to the top of the spline is 16mm.
    - Split shaft diameter : 6mm.
    - Pot casing diameter : 24mm.

    Which Ohm value should you choose?

    500K pots are the standard volume and tone controls for humbuckers, and 250K's are usually used for single-coil pickups. A 250K gives a slightly warmer tone than a 500K by sending more of the high-frequencies in the circuit to ground.
