Worked exactly as intended. Amazing quality & durable. Comparing this to a cheap pot is night/day. If you're considering, just do it. You wont regret spending your money on this. I have reused these pots multiple times with no issues, as well.

Reliable Upgrade for Tone and Volume ControlI installed this Fender 500K split shaft potentiometer in my guitar, and it has significantly improved my playing experience. The potentiometer offers smooth and precise control over both volume and tone, making it ideal for humbucker-equipped guitars. The included .022µF 250V tone capacitor ensures clear tonal adjustments. Installation was straightforward, fitting perfectly with my guitar's specifications. Overall, a high-quality component that enhances the guitar's performance.

Real Fenders at a nice price.Such a mistake to go cheap on pots.

I used these potentiometers to upgrade an import Les Paul copy. My main issue was with the installation process. I had to enlarge the holes on the guitar in order for them to fit. Additionally, I cannot find knobs to fit these pots! The only knobs in my collection that would fit were some genuine Fender Stratocaster knobs that I bought to replace the knobs on a Squier Strat. Even the old Squier knobs that I had saved would not fit on these pots. I also had a similar problem as other customers where the tiny tabs came undone when I tried to fit knobs and I had to put the pot back together. I was even supporting the pot from the back to try and keep it from happening.Despite the bad, once I got them installed, they are a major upgrade. I do think they improved the overall sound of my cheap guitar. The current price on Amazon is also great. Now, I just need to purchase genuine Fender knobs to go on the genuine Fender pots.

Replaced 40 year old pots in my recently purchased JB Player Strat with active EMG HSS pickups. Tone pot was dead and volume pots were noisy/dirty. They were easily installed and worked perfectly! My vintage guitar sounds brand new! Highly recommended parts!

Great quality pots! I've installed tons of 'em. They're reliable and long lasting. Great buy too!

Worked great for upgrading a BC Rich. Had to open up the holes in the guitar slightly to install. You’ll need universal or 24 spline knobs to fit them.
